[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP.  Who in their right mind would want a school that was all high SES?  [/quote]

Not sure if this was serious or snarky.

There are plenty of elementary schools that are all high SES, and people seem to be fine with that.  Sending your kid to the closest, neighborhood school or AAP center seems to be what's most important.  But, there is just one middle school (Cooper) and one high school (Langley) that is all high SES, and people do seem to have mixed reactions about the demographics at those schools.  Some view them as the best non-magnet schools in FCPS, and actively seek them out, and others deliberately avoid them because they think the environment may be too one-size or materialistic.  The irony right now is that FCPS may move more kids to Cooper and Langley in the next five years, not to make the schools more diverse, but simply because the enrollments in western McLean and Great Falls are expected to decline, while the enrollments in eastern McLean and West Falls Church are expected to keep growing.  And if more kids to do get moved to Cooper/Langley, they'll probably come from very nice SFH neighborhoods that currently feed into Marshall and McLean, so it will be - like everything else in FCPS - controversial.
