FCPS Skyview Boundary Scenario 1/2/3

There are about the same number of middle schools as high schools, so ideally the 7-8 middle schools should have about half the capacity of high schools. The 6-8 middle schools are outliers and they should revert to 7-8 middle schools, even if that means we need to build another elementary school. It would make a hell of a lot more sense to build a new elementary school in Mason District, which has the three 6-8 middle schools, than waste money on a 900-seat elementary in Dunn Loring that is surrounded by under-enrolled elementary schools and feeds into a 7-8 middle school.

If we did this, and put AAP at every middle school, the middle schools would be right-sized, not giant. The biggest middle schools now are either mega-AAP centers like Carson or 6-8 middle schools like Glasgow.

The middle schools are working fine. Keep
Your dumb ideas to yourself.

700-800 is perfect size for a MS. Any more and the inmates are running the asylum.

Can you elaborate what you mean? I thought we were talking about a public school system.

We are talking about a public school system that is hemorrhaging students.

When we talk of boundary decisions based on farms instead of stability, then more UMC and MC families leave. It’s the death spiral that a PP mentioned.

If people want to go to private school to avoid public school, that's their call. The people running the school system have a duty to make decisions that benefit all the students, not just the wealthy ones.

They also need to make decisions knowing if they alienate wealthy families that the wealthy families will disinvest, put their kids in private, or move out of the district, and have no desire to pay high property taxes.

I can't tell if you are joking or actually serious.

Middle schools are only two grades. Even “big” middle schools wouldn’t be much larger than the biggest elementary schools.

Middle schoolers and elementary schoolers are very different creatures to manage.

Totally serious. It may not sound nice or woke, but it’s reality.

+1. And they lose the per pupil funding too. These idiots who bluster that they are fine without UC and UMC are just whistling past the public school graveyard.

Unfortunately in my mind because I’ve always believed in the public school model. But it’s on life support.

Just leave the MS alone and fix the HS.

I disagree.

This is a good chance to realign middle school boundaries as necessaey.

None of the schools involved in this thread will lack affluent kids.

For the fewest split feeders, I think FCPS should consider:

Fox Mill – Carson – Skyview
Oak Hill – Carson – Skyview
Crossfield – Franklin – Oakton
Lees Corner – Rocky Run – Chantilly

Nah,
Fox Mill - Hughes - South Lakes
Oak Hill - Carson - Skyview
Crossfield - Carson - Skyview
Lees Corner - Franklin - Chantilly

+1

Dream on.

Reid confirmed the middle school boundaries can be changed. I actually agree with this.

You should know by now that anything Stephanie Lundquist-Arora writes will be a polemic with phony data.

Hi Stephanie!

For those who aren’t familiar with your work. Are you still making fun of autistic children these days?

Using Lewis as an example of why Skyview should not have been purchased is clueless.
