[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your property values might go down, but isn't the sacrifice worth it so Seema's can go up?

Stone at 75% FARMS right next to a bunch of UMC middle schools is a choice FCPS is making, on purpose.

Where do you get this 75%?

The core of Stone/Westfield under this proposal would appear to be Cub Run (23% FARMS), Deer Park (34% FARMS), London Towne (47% FARMS), and Virginia Run (36% FARMS).

Even if the parts of other schools remaining at or moved to Westfield are poorer, I don't know how you get to 75% overall.  Can you enlighten?  [/quote]

Not my estimate and probably an exxageration, but they also moved specific low income areas of Brookfield and Bull Run, those two areas are pretty much entirely low income kids. Stone's a small school so it wouldn't take a lot of numbers to up the percentiles.  [/quote]

Unless those two areas are well over 100% FARMS (lol), I don't think you or OP can defend the 75% FARMS prediction as anything other than an exaggeration.

And I'm not saying that Westfield won't end up close to Herndon within a few years, which would be a material increase in the FARMS rate, but that type of hyperbole borders on hysteria and undercuts any fact-based arguments you'd try to make. [/quote]
