[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would that school impact Jackson and Falls Church? FCPS realizes there is an issue at Annandale and haven't done anything. I doubt they will go back once the decision has been made.[/quote]

It's relevant to Jackson/Falls Church for at least two reasons:

1) Part of the solution to overcrowding at Jackson could be to move students at Poe, which shares a boundary with Jackson.  Doing so could relieve overcrowding at Jackson and reduce the poverty rates at Poe, since the neighborhoods that could be considered have higher-than-average FARMS rates for Jackson and lower-than-average FARMS rates for Poe

2) The Annandale/Poe experience illustrates what happens when you make incremental boundary changes at schools like Jackson that already have high ESOL/FARMS rates.  It's viewed as a sign of benign neglect by FCPS, and you end up with more poverty at schools with lower than expected enrollments.   [/quote]

What does this have to do with an elementary school in north Oakton?[/quote]
