[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately middle school capacity just doesn’t align to high school capacity, so while it would be great to have actual school pyramids with no split feeders, it’s just not gonna happen especially in the western part of the county.

It is actually happening in the western Farifax.

Four out of six MS/HS under Final Scenario will have completely aligned boundaries. [/quote]
Because western Fairfax has hundreds of kids transferring to other schools for AAP, and instead of structuring the adjustments around the initiative to have AAP centers at all middle schools, they shuffled base kids to take advantage of the gaps AAP transfers left behind. It took less than a minute to look up the data. About 100 kids transfer from Stone to Rocky Run. When they return, the capacity balloons to 110%. Franklin will be close to 120% when it gets AAP.

They can move more of Chantilly out of Franklin and into Rocky Run to maintain the feeder pattern, but with Franklin on the far edge of the Lees Corner boundary, the school will either keep a very small number of Chantilly kids or end up outside its attendance region.

I don’t see 1350 seat Carson solely feeding a 2000 seat Skyview either. Especially when 2800 seat Westfield only has an 850 seat middle school. My guess is Carson boundaries will shift south of 50 and will help relieve Stone, but unfortunately, those kids will get stuck with the same disjointed community and long bus ride that they were trying to fix with the Skyview purchase.

Or they could decide to keep the AAP centers.  You never know with Reid and the board. [/quote]
