[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we were looking for house, we seriously considered Oakton High because there were lots of houses walking distance from the school. For us, that would have been a big advantage for our children to be able to walk home after school activities, sports games, etc. The downside is that it is a huge school. [/quote]

Huge school yes, but where did you find a small school in FCPS?[/quote]

There are 25 high/secondary schools in FCPS. In some years the number of freshmen at Oakton has been above 700 and among the top two or three in terms of 9-12 enrollment.  So it’s not hard to find a smaller school in FCPS.[/quote]

You still didn’t answer the question. I graduated with over 600 in Chantilly 25 yrs ago. Most of the schools were that large. [/quote]

That’s not even remotely true.  Most schools did not have graduating classes over 600 in the late 90s.  Only a few schools in the western part of the county along with Lake Braddock and Robinson would have had over 600 seniors.  Some schools like Marshall had fewer than 400 seniors back then. [/quote]

We had 626 seniors in 1997. Fact. [/quote]

That doesn’t establish that “most” FCPS high schools had over 600 seniors in the late 90s.  You can’t project to over 20 high/secondary schools from a sample of one.[/quote]

True. I graduated from Oakton in the mid-1990s and we had somewhere between 425-450 seniors in my graduating class.[/quote]
