[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people always complaining about the lack of FARMS at Langley? The school is literally surrounded by multi million dollar houses. We live in a $3m house down the road. Our house is quite average in the area.

Where would these low income people come from?

Even the dilapidated knock down houses go for 800k.

That being said, not everyone is rich. Plenty of middle class families. Just not low income free lunch kids.[/quote]

All you need to do is look at a map of the current Langley boundaries to know they could have been drawn differently. Some Langley parents like to emphasize that they aren’t personally responsible for those boundaries, which may be true but is also not especially relevant to this discussion.

Within the next few years, Langley’s boundaries will be expanded to pick up some of Tysons, which will increase the FARMS rate there slightly.  FCPS has also signaled that, when the western high school is built in about a decade, it will move western Great Falls to Herndon.  With these changes, Langley will continue to be among the smaller high schools in the county, unless more of the parents in the area stop sending their kids to privates.

Those Tysons apartments aren’t cheap. 2 bedrooms will cost $3000+. They aren’t low income housing.[/quote]

The multi-family housing in Tysons varies in age and price.  Rentals of two bedroom units could range from $1800 to over $3000.  Two-bedroom condos for sale could range from $250K to $2.5 million. [/quote]
