[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will be Williamsburg II. It exists for the pleasure of parents who couldn't bear for their darlings to go to an "urban high school" in Rosslyn and are now pissing and moaning about how HB is getting such a fancy building.

And those parents raised the kids who will be at Stratford. [/quote]

And ugh. My kids will likely be there too with the entitled brats. We would have loved a MS in Rosslyn.

What % would have ridden the bus if it were a neighborhood school? Less than a choice school. [/quote]

You do understand the reason why parents are upset is because back when it was an "urban high [sic] school" they were going to have around 1400 middle school students then.

They are spending even more now on the HB school, for less than 1000.

That's the issue about the fancy building; they have smaller population but the budget has risen.

As for riding the bus, during the presentations they talked about the middle school population in Rosslyn -- it is nonexistent.  You *might* get some walkers from Lyon Village, but by middle school most families have moved out of the apartments and small townhouses that are the vast majority of Rosslyn real estate.

Where do you live that a MS in Rosslyn is attractive to you?[/quote]

Don't put any of that on H-B. They were forced to move there.

We are in a TH by Courthouse. There are TONS of families around here and people aren't moving out like they were 10 years ago. There are also plenty of public bus routes already headed to Rosslyn (Metro & ART) if we didn't want to add more school buses.

Or maybe we should have put a k-8 school there. Plenty of other ways to more efficiently use that space. Oh well. Thanks, whiners.
