[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m still confused as to why OP would use a phrase like “Why does Langley have such a bad reputation” if her own interactions to date with Langley students have generally been positive.

We looked in the Langley district, but chose to buy elsewhere because we wanted to be closer to DC and the lack of diversity at LHS compared to other area publics was a negative.  Even so, I would not say the school has a “bad reputation,” just a distinct one.[/quote]

Op here. A few friends and acquaintances are looking to move and dismissed Langley due to the high school reputation.

Honestly, Langley was also the high school I did not want. Neighboring high schools seemed more diverse and down to earth. The house we found that we liked best and was the best commute happened to fall in the Langley pyramid. Elementary, middle and high school rankings were all high so we bid on the house and here we are.

At the end of the day, it isn’t like we even know any kids from Oakton, Marshall, Woodson or Madison High. Who knows how much more down to earth and worldly a kid from Marshall or McLean High will be compared to a Langley High kid?

I also have noticed many of our neighbors don’t even send their kids to public school. [/quote]

I am a Langley parent and I have to say that my kids are just like kids from Alexandria, Madison, Marshall, Centreville, and elsewhere (they have friends at these schools through other activities).  I, too, had reservations about Langley before I moved here, but my concerns were unfounded.  It's an excellent pyramid.  Try not to stress!  If you are down-to-earth, your kids will likely be as well. [/quote]
