[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Numbers have dropped substantially especially for 10th graders. They have about 400 for 9th and only 280 for 10th grade. A lot of kids have opted out because of electives, sports, band, leaving friends, etc. Fairfax really messed up, they should have just drawn boundaries and allowed student to opt out if they wanted to. Which is how every other county works. [/quote] It's fairly common when opening a new school to reassign rising 9th and 10th graders to the new school and allow rising juniors to opt in or out. FCPS didn't do this with Skyview because it would have meant delaying its opening at least another year, until more of the space had been reconfigured. Stupid, vain decision by Michelle Reid. And it's not like opening earlier with an opt-in model is going to provide significant overcrowding relief where it's needed the most (Chantilly, not Westfield). [/quote]
