[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live near Wolftrap and are zoned for Kilmer - Madison. We loved the neighborhood and didn't know about the split when we purchased the house. I'm not worried about it.  The kids in the neighborhood are all close and who knows who they will be friends with in a few years anyway.  We have heard people zoned for Marshall talk about possibly pupil placing later for AP and vice versa for IB. It's impossible to predict where all of their friends will end up. [/quote]

The analysis isn't the same if your kids attend elementary school in the area before going to Kilmer and then Madison.  If your child has 60+ kids they know from elementary school, then most of those same kids will be continuing on to Madison after Kilmer.  Not a social problem.

If your child is new to the area going into Kilmer, and then is part of the 10% that goes on to Madison, there is a very real likelihood that your child will know no one or almost no one going over to Madison.  That's the difference.[/quote]

Easy to solve split feeder problem if the Kilmer boundaries became the Marshall boundaries and the Thoreau boundaries became the Madison boundaries. But then some Town kids might have to go to Marshall (gasp).[/quote]
