[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm all for improving low performing schools like Mt. Vernon and Lee, but throwing money at the problem hasn't worked. Test scores still lag far behind other county schools. I can see why folks at schools like Saratoga want out. If the county won't improve poorer high schools by redistricting to add other higher performing feeder schools, why should parents stay? On another note, if high schools in the eastern part of the county (Lee, Mt. Vernon, Edison?, Hayfield?) are under capacity, why doesn't the county consider consolidating and closing one or more. That would save $. [/quote] They don't have enough capacity to close Lee and accommodate the students at the other schools. They'd need to build sizable additions at one or two of them. In addition, they are projecting West Potomac to be significantly over-capacity, which may eventually use up any extra space at Mount Vernon, Edison and/or Hayfield, [/quote]
