[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]45% of Westfield's student population comes from Carson MS.  50% from Stone MS and the rest from AAP centers which is primarily Rocky Run MS.
If all of the Westfield students at Carson MS get shifted to KAA Westfield's class sizes will drop from 700 to 375-400.  Which means in 2-3 years Westfield will have less than 1600 students.[/quote]

Where are you getting those percentages?  And, have you added in Scenario 4?[/quote]

I feel like even if these numbers are indeed slightly off, the mass exodus from Westfield means not only Oak Hill being moved out of Chantilly but I wonder if they'd look at Brookfield (which someone brough up earlier) or heck even Lees Corner being sent to Westfield to fill that gap.  Or, they leave a lot more extra space at Westfield in preparation for all of the development down that way by the HS/Wegmans...[/quote]

I don't see the 45% at Westfield.

Remember: Carson has roughly 1000 students without the AAP center kids from Franklin.
Take out 250 for Crossfield.  250 for Fox Mill.  Say 200 for Floris.  
That yields 300 for Westfield X 2 to allow for four years of high school. So, I get about 600 for Westfield.  That would still leave them at better than 2000.[/quote]
Crossfield ~ 166 students to Carson (technically smaller with a handful going to Hughes)
Fox Mill ~ 150 when you account for net transfers 
Floris ~ 136
Take out the 273 AAP transfers (generous since some Westfield students go to Franklin)
733 Carson students zoned to Westfield
That equals 1466 students removed from Westfield.

So no, they are no where near 2000 enrollment. More like 1244. They’re backfilling with more than Bull Run. [/quote]
