[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cooper isn’t a guarantee at all.  They need to build an addition at McLean ASAP so it can handle the kids coming from Longfellow. [/quote]

Np here. I think the easiest solution would be to add some seats at cooper now. They are renovating now! Then they could eliminate the potential Longfellow/Langley that families don’t want.

It seems like an obvious solution. Is this even being considered?

I guess the first few families are the ones potentially screwed.[/quote]

They already renovated Longfellow to handle the size of the freshmen classes at McLean.  They just need to add seats at McLean, like they are doing at Justice, Madison and West Potomac outside the normal renovation cycle.

And they need to figure out why the enrollments at Cooper and Langley are so low when the catchment area is already so big.  Forcing more kids to travel to Langley, which is not in a convenient location, is not a good long-term solution. [/quote]

Franklin Sherman is 1.4 miles from Langley high school. That is hardly traveling.

I know this will be an unpopular but I think they should move the closest areas to Langley. Spring Hill sounds like they want to go to Langley since most of the school already feeds into Langley.

I don’t really care one way or another about great falls. [/quote]

Franklin Sherman is closer to McLean than to Langley, as are most neighborhoods zoned for FS.  McLean is very convenient, whereas you have to cross two major roads (Dolley Madison and Georgetown Pike) to get to Langley.

We don’t want to get moved to Langley just because some planning people in FCPS overlooked the need for more seats at a growing school and added capacity at another school that didn’t need it.  That’s on them, and they need to fix it. [/quote]
