[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My impression is that both Langley and McLean are very strong schools, but that McLean has a stronger sense of "school spirit" than Langley.

Three examples:

1.  McLean girls played Langley girls for the district basketball championship this February.  Several hundred McLean students came to the game, which was held at a neutral site (neither McLean nor Langley), to support their team.  Only a few dozen Langley kids were at the game, which McLean won.

2.  On the Instagram pages for post-graduation plans, about 1/3 of McLean's senior class has posted their plans so far.  At Langley, it's less than 1/5th of the senior class.

3.  I often see McLean kids hanging out together after school in downtown McLean.  I don't see that among Langley kids as often, either in downtown McLean or when I'm in Great Falls Village in the afternoon.

These are just my observations and impressions and no doubt others may have a different perspective. [/quote]

((sigh))

My kids hang out with their friends in their homes, or at the school during their activities.  In fact, my DD spends most of her afternoons at school.[/quote]

That post is absurd.  Quite a few very insecure posts here that aren't reflecting well on McLean.  [/quote]

Langley kids can’t just walk around downtown McLean after school because you can’t walk anywhere after school. They do indeed hang out at friends’ houses, often my house.[/quote]

You’ll usually see more McLean kids walking to and from school or in the central McLean area.  Langley area is less walkable and kids seem to make a beeline to the big parking lot. [/quote]
