[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hasn't stopped for decades; Went to HHS before the boundary changed - I would've ended up at Langley.

When we graduated - Langley average SAT was in the 1200s close to 1300 and Herndon was 1000s. Langley had children of famous people and Herndon had some too.

During graduation - our group were glad that we didn't go to Langley. Our group meaning the part of Herndon that had high GPAs, high SAT scores, etc.  Herndon has courtyards, JROTC, a parade, some history, and a bit of diverse culture. You can't measure it on US News.

What people are not getting is that Herndon is kinda split,  the kids that compete with Langley hardly see the kids the that don't. Once past 10th (PE) - you see the same set of people and then you walk through the hallways with a lot of strangers. You know them from 9th, 10th or middle school but really you don't hang with them.

Talking about Herndon as one is not quite right; Langley is one, all the kids have the same goals and compete to get there. Herndon has people that want to go to Ivy, State, Vocational, or I wonder what they did after HS.  And all of you see is an average. So Langley's average SAT is ... and Herndon is ... When you compare Herndon's Elite to Langley's Elite they are comparable. [/quote]
