[quote=Anonymous]They are comparable schools. Students transfer between the schools for AP or IB. I suspect a lot of the Skyview population is from Westfield and South Lakes. Neither school is problematic but neither is viewed as great. Your kids can do well at either but neither has a cohort that produces a lot of NMSF or commended NMS. Kids go to good schools but not many apply for and are accepted to great colleges.Solid but not great HS experiences and outcomes.

Many families don’t want to leave Chantilly for Skyview. Centreville families don’t seem excited to be moved to Westfield. Westfield and South Lakes have populations excited to be moving to Skyview. I think if there had been full sports in the first year at Skyview, more families from Westfield and South Lakes would have been excited to move and Chantilly and Centreville families would still not be excited.

If you are chsing between Westfield and South Lakes you are choosing between IB and AP. If you are looking at Floris ES to SLHS, then look at opting into Skyview. If you are looking at Coates/McNair to Westfield then look at opting into Skyview. Those are three ES that many people believe will end up at Skyview.
