FCPS comprehensive boundary review

Educational researcher John Hattie ranks "moving between schools" as negative influence on education outcomes, ranked just above depression and far below things like parental military deployment and lack of sleep. I wonder what the overall impact of thousands of students moving who would not normally have moved will be?

Someone should bring up this actual legitimate study with their school board reps

I haven't been following as closely I admit but I wonder how easily these changes will be made. Langley's attendance zone as other people have pointed out is huge, but I don't know where else those Langley kids could be zoned to...I suspect Herndon and South Lakes are potentially crowded. I know there are issues too like split feeders and islands so I'm moderately supportive of what they are trying to accomplish, but they are going to face some huge challenges once maps come out.

I thought the bad schools got more money than the higher performing schools - wasn't that working?

I bought my house for the school. How much notice will we get so we can sell our house and move? What if my house depreciates because of the newly zoned school???

How much per pupil funding do you think it would take to bring academics at Lewis up to the level of WSHS?

You have about five months before the hammer comes down. Basically the upcoming spring buying season, but really need to be sold before May 2025.

But no lines have been drawn. It will just be a guessing game for now.

Massive uncertainty for all FCPS children now and continuing every five years in the future. What could go wrong?

Change is the only constant in life. Some may like it, some may not.

Also FCPS should not be concerned about real estate values.

FFS stop with the dramatics. Evaluating every 5 years doesn't mean there will be changes every 5 years. I swear do you people not collect information and evaluate before you make decisions.

How much per pupil funding do you think it would take to bring academics at Lewis up to the level of WSHS?

The low-performing schools would need to give students private tutors - so whatever that cost would be.

Sending high-performing students to the low-performing ones is going to be a problem. It will just crowd out the low-performing and bring down the scores in the high-performing.

Comprehensive review is required every five years. With the lack of consideration of residential developments big changes will be needed each comprehensive review. FFS, are you dense?

If you are a high performing student you will still be in your bubble of high performing students relax.

Yeah relax, just let the equity activists mess with your kids’ educations. They promise your kids will be fine. Relax.

To the equity warrior, there is only one goal. Bring everyone down to the lowest level no matter the cost.
