[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand, why is the suggestion that Poplar Tree be moved to Westfield so outlandish that it would sink a real estate deal? They are right next to each other on the map, and Westfield needs more students. It does look closer than a lot of areas that would still be going to Westfield.

What am I missing?[/quote]

Here's the elephant in the room. Kathy Smith lives in that neighborhood and purposely played games with the boundaries and used a bunch of poor kids to end up with a school almost entirely well-off. Look at the school profile, its absurd compared to nearby schools.

Moving that school zone to Westfield would balance out also moving in a school that is high FARMs (BRES) so Westfield doesn't end up a lot worse off than it started. And if FCPS has to find two schools to switch to Westfield, yes, it absolutely makes the most geographic sense. Anyone with eyes and a map can see that. But the Poplar Tree families will freak out and Kathy Smith will scream.[/quote]
