[quote=Anonymous][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.

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

Housing density is a big one.  [/quote]

Langley used to have more kids when there were even fewer houses in its large attendance area.

Try again.

Not the PP but it’s been pointed out again and again that many families in the Langley pyramid stay put, even after their kids have graduated.  Why?  Because it’s a great area.  There may be fewer kids than there were in the 80’s but that’s simply because so many of the families are staying there rather than moving.  There’s not some insidious, underlying reason that enrollment has declined somewhat.   :roll: [/quote]
