[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]How many kids went from McLean? Langley's enrollment was under 2000 last year. I'm guessing that with people going to private because of COVID, it could be lower this year (not counting the new kids) I'm not familiar with the area--how large is the new development and is it multi-family or single family?

The Toll Bros. development is 102 single-family houses.[/quote]

Back in the day, FCPS had a formula to predict number of kids.  I'm guessing 50-75 max. and probably less.  Any kids won't all be in high school at the same time  [/quote]

From what I can tell, the last yield formula published by FCPS was from about 5-6 years ago and predicted that 100 new single-family houses would yield roughly 18 high school students at any point in time.  They may have updated the formula since then.  I don't know how rigorously they were validated; they were mostly used to solicit proffers from developers.

As for kids coming to Langley from McLean, that number is also below 20 this year.  Rising 9th graders had the option to pick between McLean and Langley, and most decided to stay with their middle school peers from Longfellow at McLean rather than reunite with their elementary school peers from Colvin Run and Spring Hill at Langley.  The numbers will go up starting in the fall of 2022, as students in the redistricted neighborhoods will no longer have an option to attend either school.  [/quote]
