[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. I am wondering why Langley is even discussed on this thread. Langley has nothing to do with Herndon/Westfield/SLHS’s performance.

2. Herndon used to on a par with other FCPS high schools and one notch above South Lakes. For some reason a large hispanic population flocked to Herndon and that didn’t help the school academically. Aside from the gang problem, much of school resource is being used for Spanish speakers.

3. Westfield is still an OK school. But many condos and townhouses have been built in that area.

4. South Lakes did become a little (much?) better thanks to the boundary change in 2007. Some people said its IB program attracts students from other wealthier areas. But my observation is that most out of boundary kids are from Herndon, resulting in even worse situation at HHS.

1. Well some areas in Great Falls who used to be zoned for South Lakes and Herndon are now zoned for Langley.[/quote]

When was it?  20th century?[/quote]
Yes and also the 21st century as well.[/quote]

When did the boundary adjustment happen?  I always thought that had happened long before 2000. [/quote]
Maybe when they moved then south lakes kids to Langley, but I know for sure they moved the Herndon kids there after 2000.[/quote]
At least some of them.  A friend of mine’s daughter lived on Sugarland Rd with a Herndon address and she was mad because her friends were going to Herndon and she was going to Langley.[/quote]
