[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Closing Hayfield is one of the dumbest suggestions ever posted to this forum, and that is saying a lot

I think the first step to eliminating split feeders, along with the first step to any high school and middle school rezoning, would be to add AAP to every middle school so that no students are allowed to attend AAP in a different pyramid than they are zoned for.  The second step would be to eliminste IB except for one centrally located high school magnet program, and make all the high schools AP plud dual enrollment.

Then, eliminate all elementary school split feeders, and go back to pre 2010 ish (+/-) AAP qualification requirements for Level 4 services, back when elementary AAP programs were averaging 2 classes per grade at the centers, and before fcps lowered the AAP level 4 selection standards, doubling the size of AAP.

Make the level 4 testing cut off much higher, and make all the rest of the bright kids AAP level 3 at the base schools, instead of sending full classes of 3rd graders to the centers.

After these things are done, then eliminate middle school split feeders, starting with the transition from 8th to 9th.[/quote]I love this idea, but how will that happen if there’s not an exclusive Oakton Pyramid Middle School, Bren Mar Park isn’t moved back into the Annandale pyramid Wolftrap moves entirely to Thoreau/Madison, Town of Vienna part of Westbriar moves to Thoreau also, Stenwood feeding part of Thoreau moves exclusively to Madison, Westgate and Lemon Road move exclusively to Marshall, and Mason Crest takes 6th grade in keeping its Falls Church Feeding part, but dropping its Justice feeding part to Beech Tree or Belvedere.

Elementary schools hinge on this too.[/quote]Oh mama this sounds expensive![/quote]
