Western High School Boundary Map options (A/B/C/D)

Oakton will fall so hard in rankings if scenario 3 goes through. Talk about a brain drain.

Are they trying to agitate everyone? Go look at the team that designed this. Are they local? Do they even have kids?

I’m stunned that they somehow figured out a way to make the middle school boundaries worse. And this is doesn’t even account for the AAP shakeup.

Why? What does scenario 3 do to Oakton?

Option 1 is very logical and clean at the MS/HS level to me. I think the ES stuff could easily be cleaned up.

Why option 1 is logical? Because it send Lees Corner to Westfield?

It seems like the least amount of shuffling. Draft 3 has a ton of shuffling with weird boundaries. Draft 2 is bizarre for MS, sending some kids to a different MS then back to the original HS pyramid.

Not true.

Scenario 2 is the least disruptive. Scenario 3 does have lots of shuffling.

I think Scenario 1 will receive very little support from affected families.

Scenario 2 works if they put Oak Hill at Carson.

I will be more blunt. My beef with scenario 2 is the middle school. They move in some Navy kids to Rocky Run, then half go back to Oakton. At the same time, they move out some Poplar Tree kids to Liberty, then they go back to Chantilly. I assume they have to do that because it's too many kids at Franklin, but I think it's toi disruptive to too many kids for just 2 years of MS.

Why are they even messing with the ES and MS boundaries? Just set the HS boundaries.

It makes no sense. And, if they move Fox Mill in--who will be at South Lakes to fill empty seats?

Fox Mill is a small number of those seats, and a decent number of the rising 9th graders opted in for Sky View. I want to say Fox Mill can send around 70 kids per grade to SLHS, take out the kids who go to TJ and pupil place out for AP and that number is probably closer to 55-60 kids a year. SLHS drops 240-280 kids. SLHS is also at 98% capacity so losing FMES doesn't really impact the total numbers much.

2 and 3 both have SLHS down to 83% capacity, that's ridiculous.

You don’t think the school board cares that a top 10 Virginia school will lose their high performance feeder schools? Think again.

3 has it at 81%. Absurd.

It strips a lot of the high performing feeder schools from Oakton back to Chantilly. Oakton is currently a top 10 school in Virginia and the region. It would kill the academics.

Nope. No one cares, except the people in that boundary who prefer to stay at Oakton and the people who think their housing value will fall.

I think Oakton needs more poor kids. Most of the other western HS are sitting at 30-40+ % FARMs kids. Oakton has 10%? It should be balanced out.

Yeah so? Chantilly is strong too. Wouldn’t care for myself personally, but bad outcome for Oakton. High performing schools are good for all students as a good school reputation helps everyone.

Oakton is highly ranked simply b/c of the demographics assigned to that school. There's nothing special academically about Oakton or the neighborhoods zoned to it.
