[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I had the same fears when I was house-hunting, but I believe the reputation is unfounded.  I think the "bad" reputation only exists on DCUM or with people who have no direct experience with Langley.  My kids attended elementary, middle and high school in the Langley pyramid and we have been super-happy with it.  We are dual feds (so, not wealthy), and have not had any major concerns with the "wealth difference" other than the fact that the wealthier kids are more likely to be "popular."  I have no idea whether Langley are doing more drugs than at other schools (I know that kids vape and some probably use pot, but they don't hang with my kids.)

My kids have found great friends, are involved in activities, and are getting a stellar education.  The pyramid does a good job setting kids up for success so that when my oldest started high school, the work load was challenging but completely manageable.  [/quote]

Exactly this.  Our kids have all attended Langley pyramid schools and we've all loved Langley.  Excellent education, tons of activities, nice kids.  The people who start rumors about the school are always those whose kids don't even go there.  Go figure.[/quote]

Op here. I have one child who is shy and nerdy and another who is social and athletic. I feel like I have buyer’s remorse. I had a recent talk about drugs and making good decisions with the kids. They are still young enough where parents need to coordinate. So far their friends and parents seem nice enough. The few cooper and Langley siblings we have met seem like polite good kids.[/quote]
