Langley High School has a big campus and large student body. The majority population of students are competitive, and the peer pressure is pretty high. Academics are rigorous, and teachers are great. The school counselors are very nice and will offers many resources to students for what they need. Find a job during high school will be easy at Langley because of the career center and the variety of resources. There is a big football field, tennis courts, and baseball field; there are two gymnasiums for sports teams to practice in. Langley offers a huge variety of sports. In addition, the music department is great. Orchestra, band including marching band, and choir all have music teachers with a great music background foundation.
I personally had an exceptional experience at Langley. Many say that the people are fake and form cliques, however this is something to be experienced in every high school. The school was more culturally diverse than perceoved, but most students come from higher income backgrounds. I do not see "minority" students struggling at this school; everyone has their group where they are accepted. Teachers are very caring no matter how challenging their classes are. Whatever level course you take at Langley, whether it be Honors or AP or regular courses, you WILL be prepared for college and very likely more prepared than in a neighboring pricey private school. Yes the students are VERY competitive and materialistic and some people are disappointed and distraught by that, but in the end it's better to tackle these challenges as a teenager rather than as a working adult.
It is a wonderful school, but the reason why I had to take off a star is not the school's fault, but rather, with the students. It is always the fault of the minority that ruins it for the rest... in this case, a series of graffiti incidents started off the year and some freshmen this year have been misbehaving to the extend of smoking weed in the locker rooms until the gym teachers intervened by locking them. However, the academics are absolutely wonderful, especially the humanities classes and music department! Only a small minority is causing trouble, but that's enough for the administration to start cracking down on a few freedoms such as restricting what we can do during study hall.
