Yet another thread that devolves into Langley hate. I'm a Langley parent and the above is nonsense. Of course, if you had children who actually attended this school, you'd know that. Stop spreading these disgusting rumors about a school and student body about which you know nothing.


May I borrow your magic mirror, Crazy Lady? How do you know a thing about me? Can you see me now? How many fingers? That's right just one...

My kid (and the entire MUN delegation) used to NOT wear delegate badges (which indicated Name, high school, country name etc.) when attending MUN conferences held at Langley because the abuse got so bad by Langley kids.

Mean kids.

Pressure from parents is to blame.

Not FCPS and maybe it's a cop-out answer but TC Williams. I have a lot of younger coworkers who graduated from there within the last 5 years or so and none of them has anything good to say. One girl was bullied so badly there that she's now 22 and still can't have Facebook or Instagram because the harassment was too bad.

too cliquey?


I had a colleague who recently told me in high school she begged her parents to switch her from her exclusive private school to Langley - she said that the highly-monied preparatory private school was far less ostentation than Langley, overall.

Langley, yes. Mostly about spoiled, entitled kids and parents with outsized egos.
