Should close it and move students from it. It’s not recoverable and is not an equitable solution to current or future students.

Is this an option? Close it and turn it into an adult education center or literally anything else? Wouldn’t that help the current students more than anything? Send them to WSHS, Hayfield, and Edison?

Fcps should move all the academy programs in that area to Lewis, and move the Lewis kids to Langley.

Mount Vernon is too far on tge edge of the county and inconvenient to get to for academy programs.

Edison is far too landlocked and away from any convenient access to host academy programs.

Lewis is right under the muxing bowl, centrally located right off 2 major highways. It is the best location for all the academy programs

I can’t imagine they could justify WSHS. It would be Annandale, Edison, and Hayfield. I don’t know how Lewis parents would feel about their school just disappearing.

Move the Lewis kids to Langley? Do tell how that’s going to work.

I was thinking something similar to this with Academy programs. Doubt they would move the Lewis kids to Langley though.

Haha.

It should have said Edison, not Langley.

So much talk of Langley has Langley on the mind.

Because some kids will be moved out of WSHS. And some neighborhoods are looking at moving to South County or Lewis. And this neighborhood is looking at LBSS and keeping that whole neighborhood together. There will be a fight.

Well said.

Sending all of Sangster to Lake Braddock keeps all those kids in their community. Lake Braddock and WSHS are very connected as a community. It also eliminates a split feeder.

The other options move schools completely out of their community. Daventry to Lewis creates a split feeder. Hunt Valley to South County creates a split feeder as well as pushing South County over capacity.

I think you are missing the point. They are saying that LB is NOT their community. They live in West Springfield.

They are Sangster.

Sangster is a Lake Braddock school

It's not though. Maybe all Sangster kids should be rezoned for WS (let's say LB was the school that was overcrowded). How would you feel if that happened?

Fantastic!
As long as all the kids stayed together. Honestly, both are really good schools. Given that, I'm most interested in stability for the kids.

So you are upset about all the kids staying together at Lake Braddock with 10% rezoned (likely), but are excited at the thought of the other 90% of Sangster getting rezoned to WSHS (impossible)?

They should, right? Wasn't part of this exercise adding to underpopulated schools?

Nothing in the scenarios really helps Lewis or it's students in any meaningful way. Ridiculous.

If the tool has issues why couldn’t they post the PDFs?

And they are completely indifferent to the fact that families are really anxious to receive this promised information.

At this point, jobs should be lost because of the delay. Completely unacceptable.

But there wasn’t a stated goal of moving kids to under utilized schools. Just “balancing enrollment” by moving kids out of the over capacity schools. FCPS is very constrained by transportation (see also, the middle school start times issue) and can’t be bussing kids any further than they currently are just so that they can use up a few hundred seats at Lewis or Herndon or wherever.
