Good luck with that! |

Tell me you know nothing about the area without telling me you know nothing about the area. Troll elsewhere. |

Agreed. And replace the full board who didn’t run on any of this. |

All the numbers support that logic. No luck needed just common sense. |

99% of current Sangster kids already at WS will stay at WS. There's only about 20 kids per Sangster class that are zoned for Irving/WS. There will be little to no change in WS numbers from in 2026. |

West Springfield class of 2026 is 735 students Irving 8th grade is 579 students That is a decrease of 156 students at WSHS high school between June 4, 2026 graduation and the 2026 school year, just from Class of 2026 graduating. Irving transfers out around 55 students per grade to Lake Braddock for AAP. All of those AAP students will return to WSHS for 9th grade. This means when you factor in both the graduating seniors, plus the AAP kids returning from Lake Braddock, WSHS will drop by roughly 100 students starting the 2026 school year without a single student getting rezoned. If FCPS starts enforcing WSHS being closed to transfers, WSHS could decrease by 120-130 students in 2026. WSHS will drop from 2841 students this year, to somewhere around 2725-2750 students next year, just from the graduation of Class of 2026, a smaller enrollment than WSHS had in the 2024-25 school year, which was 2781 students. This is before a single studdnt is rezoned from WSHS. If you add in the 125 or so students getting rezoned, WSHS could easily be around 2600 students by the start of the 2026 school year. Insult if you must, but realize that the numbers are the numbers. https://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:107::105::  0_CURRENT_SCHOOL_ID,P0_EDSL:151,0

Zero Sangster kids will remain at WSHS going forward. The only Sangster students remaining at WSHS will be 10th, 11th and 12th graders, no freshmen. Each year, the Sangster students at WSHS will decrease by one grade of students. Most of Sangster attends Lake Braddock. |

You’re forgetting all the kids transferring in from St Bernadette. That bumps up the attendance every year. |

There are not that many kids coming from St. Bernadettes. It is the low single digits |

It’s not quite that simple. The current WSHS 9th grade class was 634 when 8th graders and now 711 as freshmen. That’s more than the 50 AAP transfers returning. There’s usually some additional growth from the K-8 private school kids. And while this year’s 8th grade class is abnormally small, the 7th grade class is back over 650. WSHS enrollment numbers have likely peaked, but they won’t roll off as quickly as you’re predicting. |

The WS parents have been claiming for years that "next year" the enrollment will start to come down significantly, and it's never happened. They've lost credibility. If they are going to move any high school kids out of their current schools, the starting point is WSHS. |

WSHS is the only HS in the area where enrollment goes up every year. All the rest have stayed stable or lost kids. It’s a combo of no residency checks and kids transferring in from military households etc. |

If FCPS did a residency check at WSHS, the enrollment numbers would drop immediately. Every family knows multiple out of bounds students attending WSHS. Ask the students. |

When I just looked at the tool posted to check on this. I saw that Irving 8th grade last year was 640 The same class (now freshman) in 9th are at 701. So that is 60 kids, not much more than 50ish from LBSS. |
