[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I have talked with many of the parents on our street and no one has said word one about problems at South Lakes. I have friends who teach at South Lakes and they have no concerns with sending their kids to South Lakes. The kids I know who have graduated from there, neighbors kids, babysitters, and the like have been happy with their four years at the school. [/quote]

OK, but that's [i]now[/i]. The OP needs to consider what SLHS will be like [i]ten years from now[/i].

If you look at the demographics of the schools that feed SLHS (Dogwood, Forest Edge, Fox Mill, Hunters Woods) it is obvious that in ten years, SLHS will have a higher percentage of blacks and Hispanics, and a lower percentage of whites, than it does now, as well as a higher percentage of economically "disadvantaged". It won't be quite as "diverse" as Herndon HS, but getting there.

You may or may not regard this as a bad thing. Perhaps you will revel in the rich, vibrant diversity!

And who knows what the school board will decide to do to... adjust... Langley HS in the meantime.[/quote]

Aren’t you lovely?

Langley has a toxic culture and it starts with people like you. [/quote]

Are you also pretending you'd send your kid to a crappy school full of poor, non-English speaking kids?[/quote]

I live in Reston. Both my DH and I have advanced degrees. We are certainly sending our currently small children through the Reston Public Schools, and that means SLHS. I am a Latina, so perhaps you don't want to live next to me or send your kids to the same school as mine because you have ideas about immigrants and people of color. Don't move to Reston if you are racist/xenophobic/classest jerks.
