[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally acquiring a site in western Fairfax, with a building no less, and converting it into something other than a neighborhood high school would be one of the largest self-owns in FCPS history. My kids won’t attend this school either way, and I realize the thread is just sport at this point for some person who wants to bait the folks in the Floris/Oak Hill area, but anyway…[/quote] I hate the term gaslighting, but the topic of this thread has taken a pretty overwhelmingly turn in the past few days. I am unlikely to benefit from this school personally, but the obvious use for it is as a traditional high school to serve an area without a neighborhood school. The idea that a magnet school is going to help relieve capacity issues is some trickle down economic thinking. [/quote] I’m not sure what you mean by trickle down economic thinking. How is a merit-based magnet related to trickle-down economics? [/quote] I am not PP, but the trickle down economic gaslighting is spot on for argument of a second magnet school. Let's say a high school is overcapacity of 110%, For a 2200 student school, that's 200 over capacity. The second magnet school at most can absorb 50 (given not all top 10% of this HS can/will/able to go to the second magnet). So the second magnet school won't get the high school down to below 100% capacity. [/quote]
