[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Langley with apartment kids???? Say it ain't so. Langley snowflakes should never have to be exposed to poors!  That's why you buy in Langley-- so your child can exist in a bubble. [/quote]

It's one area of the county where FCPS ought to create attendance islands.  [b]You could have apartments now in the Marshall and McLean districts rezoned for Langley [/b]and they'd still be closer to Langley than many homes now zoned for Langley are.[/quote]There are lot of apartments and condos in the Franklin Sherman boundary. I'm sure this would help.

The big apartments near the Safeway have lots of elderly.  Langley enrollment is cyclical.  People aged in place which is why the boundary was extended from Springvale Road to Loudoun County line back in the 1990's.  Then it's population boomed - no boundary changes back to Herndon HS.  Additions.

Now Langley areas have decreases because those households that spawned the boom are for the most part aging in place.  [/quote]

Langley had 2100 kids as recently as 2008.  Since it already has the biggest boundary in FCPS, it seems like FCPS ought to tolerate lower enrollments at Langley for a few years before doing much more than rezoning a few apartment complexes in Tysons there.    [/quote]
