[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused because it seems many are suggesting this is a negative for McLean. How is this a negative for those in McLean district long term if it will relieve some overcrowding and McLean will likely get in the line for expansion?[/quote]

This is not a negative for McLean. It is good. [/quote]

I wish it were, but I've seen this movie before and it's not.  No school comes out ahead when the School Board both under-invests in its facilities and moves a significant proportion of its higher-achieving kids to other schools.

The only school this is good for is Langley. [/quote]

McLean still has all those families from Haycock, Kent Gardens and Franklin Sherman. McLean High will be just fine.

I do wonder how the demographics will change, especially with the changes with TJ.[/quote]

Exactly.  The Debbie Downer on this thread is absurd.  Moving a few families to Langley is not going to change McLean.  Other than to alleviate some overcrowding, which you’d think would be welcome.  [/quote]

When the dust settles it will end up being close to 10% of the student body so it is literally “decimating” the school.  That wouldn’t have been necessary if they’d added seats where they were actually needed or persuaded more families in Langley’s already massive catchment area to send their kids to public school.
