[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is FCPS's plan to address additional overcrowding at high schools that will see enrollment increases if TJ switches to a lottery?  The overcrowded McLean and Chantilly pyramids currently send the most kids to TJ, and will see an influx of students under a lottery, but FCPS isn't planning for an addition at either school.  Conversely, West Potomac and Justice are among the pyramids that send the fewest kids to TJ, and will send more under a lottery, but FCPS is building expensive additions at both schools.  FCPS planning is a mess.

2020-21 TJ students by base high school pyramid:

[b]McLean 190
Chantilly 155
Langley 152
Oakton 140[/b]

Wow. McLean and Chantilly (who I think are currently the most overcrowded HS in FCPS without a plan in place)  really needs some help now - Langley might be able to absorb. [/quote]

strange how the top and bottom list correspond so well to school affluence. it's almost like TJ's detractors hadve a point[/quote]

Or the rigor of the HS.[/quote]

Or the education of the parents. Well educated parents care about their kids’ education and move to better school districts. Not everything is about money. Or race. It may be about education![/quote]

Which is tied to money and race but nice try! [/quote]

The sheer incompetence is mind boggling.  FCPS facilties produced a document dated December 7. 2020.  Actual numbers projected  for Mclean to Langley boundary process.  Only took a year...

10 days later we learn there are 342 TJ students that otherwise would be at Langley + Mclean.  If 200 would be at the base schools ?  December 7

Not to minimize the real Pearl Harbor but it is just ironic that Dec 7 is the date of that FCPS report.  A turning point for the USA and the ultimate example of FCPS top administration and school board incompetence.[/quote]
