The Langley High School band program is one of the most elite programs in Virginia, and is recognized as a Virginia State Honor Band. Under the leadership of Director of Bands Doug Martin, enrollment in the Langley High School program has more than doubled in recent years. Each new year brings accolades and "firsts" to the program.

The school is guilty of teachers and students being bullies! The teachers and coaches do not help students, or maybe just some they deem important. The mothers that try to run the school are the biggest bullies. The teachers and staff allow certain mothers that have nothing else to do run the school and bully other kids. The coaches do not care and ignore bullying. Very disappointed with this school. I took my other kid to another school and am very happy. The new school staff actually run the school and are involved with the students.

I can’t say that every experience I had was a bad one. Sometimes, I had teachers who genuinely cared about how well I did and who cared a lot about helping me. I truly appreciate my experiences with each and every one of these people, as I believe you can work around a lot of (although not always all of,) problems you have in a class or with a teacher’s style or with the course work when a teacher works with you. There were a lot of things that could be worse at Langley. As far as I was aware, there weren’t any gangs, and Langley could have had a worse problem with drugs. However, there was

I am an alumna -- class of 1999, although I did go back briefly for part of my student teaching in 2009. In that time, the basic ethos of the school seemed not to have changed.
In terms of academics, Langley is pretty high up there. I don't know them to do the IB (International Baccalaureate) program like South Lakes in Reston; but they were beginning to offer AP courses while I was a student, and I suspect that the rate of participation in those courses has gone up since my time. One of the biggest complaints I'd hear while at Langley was one of academic rigor to an extreme, typically from parents

I went there in the early to middle 60's when it had police in it because of black panthers and hippies.. We were considered the enemy of the State by the police and Nixon's people, but the school administration still ran it as if we didn't have these problems and issues. Everybody still went about going to class, learning, being a regular High School... Back then the school was relatively new and the only thing everybody pointed out was the barb wire on the fence surrounding the parking lot and school was pointed in, not out.. which is how prisons fences are done.. Not to keep people out, but

Not a student here and am basing my review on my experiences delivering food to school for past 11 years. Students seem happy at this school and English is the primary language I hear spoken unlike some other fairfax county schools in which you were think you were in South America. :÷({[. Kitchen manager is extremely nice and always hooks me up. HAAAAAAAA! Multiple previous posts stating no one in school is on drugs. Wow! What were you on when you posted that.
