[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]31.31% to 37%. It would also be less than 1900 students[/b], so it would probably pick up more than just the remainder of Bull Run and Cub Run from Centreville and Chantilly. [/quote]

Let's be real, hundreds of middle class kids would transfer out in this scenario, as there would be very few advanced courses being offered. So maybe 1600 kids would show up for the first day.[/quote]

A school with fewer than 1900 kids and 37% FARMs will offer almost no AP courses. Principals are told a class must have 30 or 35 students to offer it. [/quote]

Guess they just need to cancel this purchase.  Clearly it will have too negative an effect on Westfield to pursue.  [/quote]

Its a solvable problem, they just have to figure out how to draw the new boundaries to leave some of the middle class neighborhoods from Mcnair/Floris/Coates at Westfield. I am not so sure they will add in the Bull Run neighborhoods anyway due to the effect on Stone. I guess we'll see.[/quote]

They will not leave those kids near KAA at Westfield.  [/quote]
