[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's always seemed the western part of the county divides among those who like big schools that are academic (Carson, with its AAP kids from so many pyramids) or athletic (Westfield and Oakton) powerhouses due to their large enrollments.

This model is changing between the plan to make every middle school an AAP center and the new western HS, which will reduce the enrollments at Centreville, Westfield, Chantilly, Oakton, and perhaps South Lakes.

The western schools won't be able to puff their chests as much about the number of Carson kids going to TJ or the number of state championships, but the average kid may have more opportunities. [/quote]

A lot of families at these giant school factories like Westfield would prefer smaller schools where their kids could actually have a shot at making any sports team or being a leader or even having a principal who knows their name, but kids go to their zoned school. Its not like you can just select a different school to attend. [/quote]

Totally agree with this. Not to mention, it has a pool so if your kid is a swimmer, this a huge plus, definitely beats having to drive them to the rec center. [/quote]

There's no way that pool stays there. The only fcps with a pool is TJ, a magnet school. Being the smallest school they'll get rid of it to make room for more students and to limit liability[/quote]

TJ had a pool? What was the HS before it was TJ that it had a pool? Didn’t think any FCPS schools had pools at any time?[/quote]

TJ doesn’t have a pool.[/quote]
