MCLEAN, Va.—Fairfax County parents demanded accountability and transparency on Tuesday at a meeting with the division superintendent regarding delayed award notifications at Langley High School, ranked No. 2 in the Commonwealth. Many of them saw the delay not as a one-time human error, as stated by the school system, but as a component in the district’s equity-centered approach to achieving equal outcomes among students.
Over the weekend, 46 students at the school learned of their “Commended Student” accolades—given to students who score among the top three percent in the nation on the Preliminary SAT (PSAT).
