[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to Langley and it is under-enrolled and has fewer electives. And it will continue to be under-enrolled at least for the next many years even with the boundary change. It just won’t be as under-enrolled as it was. That being said, Langley is a good school and my kid likes it a lot. However, I think McLean is good as well. It’s really about where OP wants to live and what house they can find. [/quote] I’m a Langley parent and not aware of any electives that have been cut - could you list them? And it won’t be under-enrolled starting this fall with the boundary change and the large new development on Rt.7/Towlston. [/quote] Langley is phasing out German. It is among the last AP schools to get AP Capstone, which is a research and writing-intensive AP sequence. There are also other electives not available at Langley that are offered at larger schools, and there may be fewer sessions of certain electives that are offered, which limits their availability for students with scheduling conflicts. In addition, given that the boundary change is being phased in over the next four years (even the rising 9th graders will continue to split to both high schools), Langley will remain under-enrolled for many years, although that also has some advantages, when it comes to things like making teams, etc. [/quote]
