[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain why Marshall and Langley have such beautiful buildings while McLean is old and unattractive (and the bathrooms are really bad).[/quote]

McLean's renovation is over ten years ago. Marshall's is newer and Langley's is just getting done. Go look at Falls Church HS if you want to feel better about McLean's facility. [/quote]

+1.  Falls Church deserves a first-class upgrade when they renovate it.  They got a raw deal back in 2008, when FCPS created its renovation queue, because [b]Falls Church was under-enrolled at the time and FCPS assigned higher priority to renovating schools that were at or above-capacity.

Kind of seems like that makes sense, no?  [/quote]

Perhaps, but the renovation cycle is so long that, by the time they get around to actually renovating a school, conditions may have changed (the school that was over-capacity in 2008 may be under-enrolled in 2018, and vice versa).

And in Falls Church's case, the fact that the building has been in poor condition just gave people one more incentive to pupil place their kids to Marshall and other schools, at least when that was an option.
