[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Centreville families don't want to be moved to Westfield. [/quote]

Thru is already proposing to move part of Centreville to Westfield.  It's likely going to happen whether KAA reopens as a neighborhood school or not.  [/quote]

Which part?
No one wants to move from Centreville to Westfield. Centreville is a neighborhood school
with a much lower population so kids have a shot at sports teams, leadership roles etc.
Westfield has too many poor kids and keeps losing academic class offerings. The location is inconvenient and unappealing and the admin is terrible.

Centerville is currently overcrowded and might be looking at an expansion that would increase it’s capacity to 3,000 students. How is that “A much lower population”? [/quote]

They only have around 2200 kids right now. Westfield is around 2800. But CVHS has more AP class offerings.

Most people prefer a smaller school for their kids. One example, [b]its virtually impossible to make most sports teams at Westfield compared to Centreville.[/b] [/quote]

Is that true or just an assumption. The way sports and family wealth often go hand in hand in this day and age, smaller but wealthier schools typically have more students trying out for limited spots on teams.

Anyways, new boundaries could affect the demographic make up of all these schools. [/quote]
