[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly. Keep in mind that with the rezoning, Chantilly will no longer be closed to transfers. It will fill right back up with Westfield zoned students who suddenly have a hankering to learn Latin.[/quote]

Yes, this person FCPS'es. For sure there will be a sudden uptick in interest in taking Latin. [/quote]

You can no longer pupil place for languages, they changed that this year. You can pupil place for AP or IB or specialized programs. So Westfield kids are likely to really want aviation or STEM pathways. [/quote]

I thought that was proposed but tabled?

Regardless, there are multiple other ways to get your kid into neighboring schools (legit and illegit). [/quote]

People were posting about rising 9th graders wanting to pupil place for language and it not being available. We know people in Japanese Immersion who pupil place to SLHS and they had to select IB because Japanese was not an option this year. Kids who had already been pupil placed were allowed to remain but rising 9th graders did not have the option. [/quote]

That tells me that someone knew Skyview would be Fox Mill and that immersion kids were opting in to Skyview.[/quote]

No, they want to attend SLHS and pupil placed for IB out of Herndon. People used to pupil place for Japanese. But Fox Mill families have been active in moving to Skyview, a lot opted in to Skyview. [/quote]

I think what's funny about this is that I don't think Skyview's demographics are going to be much different than South Lakes[/quote]

It has nothing to do with demographics. Some people like IB, more people prefer AP, and most people don’t care. There are people who pupil place to SLHS for IB from Herndon, Westfield, Chantilly and other schools. Others pupil place out for AP.

FMES goes to Carson for MS and then to SLHS barely knowing anyone. Most people from FMES want to move with the other schools to Skyview. Skyview is closer. Skyview will have AP. Hughes doesn’t have space for FMES so you can’t move FMES to Hughes so they can move with the other students to SLHS. [/quote]

As a Floris SLHS parent I would echo this. Our kids are split from the rest of Floris (probably less than a quarter now) after Carson and the transition is so hard. Skyview is half the distance than South Lakes is for us so that’s another plus. [/quote]
