[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry for posting in two places - I was confused about what school system the school is part of.

We are considering a move, and are trying to figure out what high school would be best for my rising 9th grader.  McLean High looks like it has a lot to commend it, but we are trying to assess how difficult it would be for him to make new friends.  Do a lot of different middle schools feed into McLean?[/quote]

Langley HS is a much better choice, IMHO.  Langley is either under capacity or near capacity with new facilities while McLean is over capacity with much older facilities.  Believe it or not, there are multiple trailers at McLean HS and they will be there for a VERY LONG TIME.  I just don't see it changing anytime soon.[/quote]

Temporary trailers still at McLean.  Four ( 4 ) of them remain, after the previous 17 were replaced by a “pod” or pre-fab, semi-permanent structure.

The 4 trailers are far beyond their lifespan.  Several were found to have extensive black mold problems.[/quote]

There are a lot of fantastic things about McLean but if your top priority is avoiding a school with any trailers or a modular then under-enrolled Langley is a better choice.

Other high schools with trailers and/or a modular this year include South Lakes, Annandale, Marshall, Edison, Centreville, Robinson, Chantilly, Fairfax, Westfield, and Woodson. [/quote]
No other HS in FSPS is in the dire situation McLean is. Lockers had to be removed from hallways, so that the kids can actually walk to their classrooms.You have no idea how bad the overcrowding is, until your own kid starts attending.[/quote]
