[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And quite frankly, why does that poster need to drag West Springfield zone and Hunt Valley Elementary into a discussion about Marshall, West Potomac and IB? [/quote] The OP was speculating whether, over time, West Potomac's demographics might move in the direction of Marshall's. That led to a broader discussion of schools like Lee with even higher poverty rates than West Potomac and what might be done about it. An easy and obvious way to concentrate less poverty at Lee is to swap some of the Lee and West Springfield feeders. The two schools are next to each other, after all, yet have very different FARMS rates. If FCPS wants to do more than talk the talk (i.e., One Fairfax), it should revisit boundaries. You can use the term "illogical" until you turn blue in the face, but moving Crestwood to West Springfield and Hunt Valley to Lee would demonstrate FCPS's commitment to a quality education for all students.
