[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are locked in on the number of homes for whatever reason. Only seems to be Lewis parents. [/quote]

There are WAY more than 20 high school students living in those 282 Lewis townhomes getting rezoned to WSHS.

It is probably closer to 50 high school students.  Maybe more.  Maybe less.

There are around 8-9 students per grade at the elementary level from that neighborhood getting rezoned to WSHS from Lewis, approximately 60 elementary students total.

FCPS is estimating 20 students, which is roughly 3 students per grade.

This means the number of students who will attend WSHS from that neighborhood is at least triple the FCPS estimates.

Once that RV neighborhood is zoned for WSHS, that number will skyrocket.  It will probably end up bringing in more students than FCPS is removing from Sangster.

Here we go again. Broken record. Speculation. Wrong info. Please stop. [/quote]

Yeah, think that's pretty obvious.  People with kids will start buying into a neighborhood zoned to "good schools".[/quote]

Exactly. And WSHS will get more crowded and Lewis will be under-utilized. They don't need to be taking any more kids out of Lewis. And they need get rid of IB there.[/quote]

Also percentages in the tool are misleading. We see actual enrollment for current year vs base school projected enrollment for scenario 4. So the actual number must be higher once you add transfers.  [/quote]
I think it’s the other way around.  I don’t think Student Planning Areas account for transfers. It’s an algorithm based on the type of housing. So the “20 students” they’re moving may not move the enrollment ticker at Lewis much, if those students were already transferring out to begin with.[/quote]

I don’t understand what you’re saying about algorithms.  Any numbers they are displaying are just based on actual enrollments last year and the movement of kids from one school to another.  Algorithms may tie into the future projections. [/quote]
