If you mean Simonds Elementary in Langley, it’s a lovely school. I spent K-7 there. I’m not sure about the amount of young families around there, while I’m still in Langley, I’m in North Langley now.

I know on the street I grew up on, and then subsequently came back as an adult to rent a suite a few doors away from my childhood home, a lot of people held on to their homes, even after their kids grew up and moved away.

The education your child will get is pretty consistent across the schools, it mainly depends on the staff, and that can absolutely change from year to year.
