[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great Falls Elementary School enrollment is down as well patents are opting for private schools[/quote]

Is it that or is it that millennial parents with elementary age kids don’t want to live in Great Falls? It’s a little more isolated than many areas of the county and that doesn’t appeal to everyone. [/quote]

Agree, most people with young children don't find aging mcmansions out in the middle of nowhere appealing.[/quote]

It's great to be handy and/or have the money for contractors.  Contractors STAY busy around here.  It's also lovely to live in a part of the county with lots of open space for the kids, a central community gathering location and abundant plant and wildlife.

The great thing about this county is that you can live stacked on top of people if you like that or step out into your back yard and see nothing but trees and foxes if that's your thing.[/quote]

This may be true but if you’re talking about Great Falls they’ve had to shore up Langley’s enrollment by reassigning kids there repeatedly, first from Herndon and then from McLean.

If Langley had the same boundaries it had in the early 90s it would probably have an enrollment somewhere between Lewis and Mount Vernon. [/quote]
You’re going back thirty years? Why stop there? If Langley had enrollment based on the number of kids in the area around the time of the civil war, it’d be less than a hundred per class. [/quote]
