[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't judge a book by its cover.  Nice building doesn't equal great school.  Great school doesn't need nice building.  Read into it what you will.  [/quote]

From what I hear about Langley, there's no need to go inside the building.  You can judge it by the parking lot full of expensive cars!  [/quote]

PP here.  I don't care what type of cars students or teachers at Langley drive.  I simply think that "complaints" by Langley parents that the school is overcrowded or in an "awful" building deserve to be called out.  I won't prolong the back-and-forth by getting into the details other than to say that, if the Langley boundaries weren't so nutty, the school would have fewer students and money that was spent on an addition to the school a few years ago could have been spent on the main building (or, for that matter, on other schools that also needed to be renovated).

Unlike Langley, Woodson recently had a full-scale renovation.  Even if someone thought the school site looked scruffy with all the construction, the inside of the building is great now.  And Marshall - where the OP is zoned - is about to be renovated as well.  Langley is a bit further back in the renovation queue, since it was built after Marshall and some other schools, including TJ.
