[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are at Wolftrap and majority of Wolftrap students will go to Marshall and some will go to Madison since Wolftrap it's a split feeder. I don't see it as an issue.[/quote]

The majority of Wolftrap kids are zoned for Madison (63%), not Marshall (37%).   However, the split is not an issue for you because they'll go to Kilmer, and 85% of Kilmer is zoned for Marshall.  So your situation is different from someone at Stenwood whose kid goes to Thoreau, which only sends 10% of its students to Marshall.  Many of those kids pupil place to Madison to stay with their Thoreau friends, but PP said that she can't do that (presumably, she can't arrange for transportation).

In some parts of the county, split feeders are inevitable, but there's no reason other than inertia that the Kilmer/Marshall and Thoreau/Madison boundaries aren't aligned like Frost/Woodson, Cooper/Langley and Longfellow/McLean's are.    [/quote]

We are in the Wolftrap boundary Madison bound wishing our kids could go to Thoreau so that they could have more friends before going onto Madison.[/quote]

We live in the town boundaries as well and can't easily use the teen center that we pay for because there is only a bus from Thoreau to the center.[/quote]
