[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The transition from South Lakes to Langley presents a curious scenario. Apparently, a significant number of sophomores and freshmen from Carson Middle who missed out on admission to TJ opted for Langley instead.

This raises questions about the benefits for these students. Langley's academic reputation is largely attributed to parents investing in tutoring, with expenses exceeding $1,000 monthly and over $5,000 for college advisory services. Those unable to afford such costs might find themselves at a disadvantage. Moreover, during college applications, these students are up against peers whose families can afford early decision applications without financial aid or benefit from legacy admissions. Additionally, the longer commute to Langley might limit their time for self-study and after-school activities.

It would be intriguing to analyze the long-term outcomes for these students.[/quote]

My guess is that the Fox Mill kids who have been in Japanese Immersion move to Langley for the AP and make the argument that they want to continue their Japanese language courses. [/quote]

South Lakes offers Japanese, and there are AP schools with capacity closer to Fox Mill than Langley.  So that wouldn't seem to justify a pupil placement to Langley.  [/quote]
