[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who says they don’t? Are you looking at any specific data? My guess is they are sending a number in line with the stats of the kids there.[/quote]

I am sorry, I cant find data online but I heard from a parent whose 3 kids went to Langley. [/quote]

Most people who live in Langley/Mclean and their kids go to HYPS do not attend public schools.  Most of them send their kids to Potomac, St. Albans, Sidwell, NCS, Holton, etc...

Middle class families in Langley send their kids to Langley HS.  [/quote]

I agree but I am wondering if [b]those middle class students get to go to HYPS[/b]. There is very less data out there for Langley or Mclean but I do hear that Langley is tough academic wise. Not as much as TJ though which is a STEM school.[/quote]

Yes, kids from Langley do go to HYPS but the number is lower than kids from Sidwell, St. Albans or Potomac.  Not because kids at Sidwell, St. Albans or Potomac are any smarter, it has to do with "legacy".  There are so many parents at Potomac and St. Albans that graduated from HYPS, at least 50%.

What you heard is true.  Langley HS and Mclean HS are ranked 2nd and 3rd, respectively behind TJ in the state of Virginia.  Some years, Mclean ranks 2nd and some years Langley HS ranks 2nd.  The asians and Indian students at both of these schools are high achievers.  [b]I call them TJ "rejects", LOL...  Many of them could have gone to TJ but decided not to[/b].

I like both Langley and Mclean HS.  What I don't like about Mclean HS is overcrowding issue.[/quote]

My kid does not want to attend Langley High.  He said people will think of him as a TJ-reject if he attends Langley High because he is Asian.  I thought that was nonsense, but now I see his concerns.  This is really sad!![/quote]
