Oakton High School and Chantilly High School

[Anonymous]

McLean to Chantilly? Damn, she really did get exiled.

Elective Slot: BEWARE— new requirement this year in VA that entering freshmen take two consecutive years of electives (which sucks IMO). So your kid needs to be aware that if they take Art, Band, Orchestra, etc., they are stuck for two years or have to restart the clock. Ugghh!


What is this about? Why did this change and by whom?

^^^^. You could have linked.

Also, in FCPS, high schools rarely get top awards. They factor in math SOL pass rates, and schools like Oakton and Chantilly have their strong students already through Algebra and Geometry SOLs at the Ms level. And possibly A2. It’s why the Tja feeder MSs look so good and the Hss look weak by comparison. The kids left in Algebra 1 to take the SOL in HS are the weakest math students, and thus the most likely to fail.
