[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Running the numbers, if Westfield lost Floris, Coates, and McNair while picking up all of Bull Run and Cub Run, its FARM rate would increase from 31.31% to 37%. It would also be less than 1900 students, so it would probably pick up more than just the remainder of Bull Run and Cub Run from Centreville and Chantilly. [/quote]

HHS is around 40% and we have all watched Langley parents throw conniption fits for years over the mere prospect of being moved. So its understandable that the Stone and Westfield families--whose schools already have more than their "fair share" of ELL and FARMs kids--aren't thrilled with pp's great ideas.

The SB is going to need to find some middle class/UMC areas to add to Westfield's attendance numbers. As previously pointed out, no one wants their kids to be moved down so the CHS parents will scream.  [/quote]

You haven't offered any alternatives, which suggests that any alternatives you'd offer would be less plausible and wouldn't pass the smell test.

And you keep saying CHS parents would scream when what you really mean is W[b]HS parents don't want *certain* kids from CHS[/b].  [/quote]

What are you talking about? Westfield doesn't want kids from Chantilly? That doesn't make sense. Chantilly is a much wealthier school.[/quote]

I think PP is talking about Centreville, not Chantilly.  Took me a moment to figure it out.[/quote]
