[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those parents are in a tough spot. How do you argue for other people's kids to get moved into your school, when they are all kicking and screaming to stay out?

2008 South Lakes PTSA were masters of that!  Had maps on their website of acceptable areas for their school.  They actively rejected other areas.  [/quote]

Did this really happen? Are the maps alive online somewhere?[/quote]

Yes, it happened. SLHS PTSA only wanted MC and UMC families to be moved to the school to improve test scores. Herndon wanted to keep their MC and UMC families for the same reason. I believe either McNair or Coates were offered to SLHS but SLHS PTSA did not want either of those schools. Floris and Fox Mill were offered as tribute while others close by were able to organize enough to not be moved.

SLHS is a great community and a good school, if it had AP there would be less desire to move and I think more families would have been fine with the move in 2008. Instead, FCPS continues to push IB and SLHS loses 30-40 students per grade to AP schools and TJ ever since. Expect that number to grow with Skyview being closer then Herndon. More parents will be comfortable sending their kids to Skyview because of the lower FARMs rate and the pathways. [/quote]
