[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crestveiw is around 2-3 miles to Lee.

Hunt Valley is around 7 mikes from lee.

Honestly, Rolling Valley should go to WSHS at 100% instead of 75% before Crestveiw.

Garfield should go to WS before Crestview.

Orange Hunt is closer to Lee HS than Hunt Valley (6 miles away vs 7 miles).  Hunt Valley is the farthest WS elementary school from Lee HS.

You are weirdly focused on Hunt Valley going to Lee. It makes no sense whatsoever because your idea completelynlacks logic or reason.

If you want fcps to rezone a WSHS elementary school you need to fixate on one that makes more sense geographically, such as Cardinal Forest or Keene (the two closest WSHS elementaries to Lee).

But really, your idea is quite silly with no legitimate justification for it.[/quote]

Crestwood ES is 3.8 miles from West Springfield HS and many homes zoned for CES are closer.

Hunt Valley ES is 5.7 miles from Lee HS and many homes zoned for HVES are closer.

Orange Hunt ES is 6.1 miles from Lee HS and many homes zoned for OHES are further.

I've never mentioned moving Crestwood ES to West Springfield HS, or moving Hunt Valley ES to Lee HS, before today.  The fact that another poster must have done so previously tells me others also think it might balance the demographics between those schools, which is very much in line with the "One Fairfax" initiative adopted by the county Board of Supervisors and School Board.

Either we care about over-concentrating poverty in certain schools, or we don't.  It's pretty obvious where you stand.  [/quote]

Hunt Valley is farther than Orange Hunt via Old Keene Mill Rd.

Orange Hunt is farther than Hunt Valey using the FC Pkwy.

The difference in which school is farther is almost exactly the distance between the two schools on the same street.

Regardless, Hunt Valley and Orange Hunt are the fsrthest elementary schools from Lee High School. Your srgument would be co.pletely illogical whether you were suggesting Hunt Valley or Orange Hunt.

Both elementary schools are the farthest from Lee of any of the WSHS feeders and it make no sense to zone either one to Lee based off geography when there are so many elementary schools between those two schools and Lee. It would be pulling a random island out of one school zone and moving it across town and past 8 other elementary schools. It is completely illogical to suggest either of those schools be zoned for Lee HS.

Your argument would carry more water if you picked an elementary like Keene or Cardinal Forest which are actually close to Lee. (And I am not sugegesting they rezone, just that they make at least a tiny bit more sense.)[/quote]
