[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all, Annandale is under capacity. It can definitely take on a feeder or two, particularly when you consider IB seats moving to the IB school.

Second of all, the West Springfield poster. No, obviously all of Lee's feeders aren't going to West Springfield. Rolling Valley is in the slow process of essentially becoming a WS feeder. Two, maybe three, might be added. But what about the current schools?

White Oaks would go to Robinson, Sangster would either go to Robinson or South County (more likely). Cardinal Forest and Orange Hunt would go to Lake Braddock. Based on the current under capacity, suddenly you have seats.

Another point. People seem to forget that there was a census and essentially pulling South County, Hayfield, Edison, Annandale, West Springfield and Lee IB seats would be sufficient to fill an entire school. That would fix the capacity issue, fwiw. All of these schools would be losing students to the HB Woodlawn IB model school. That would make moving feeders around more easy.

And yes, Lee was chosen because it's a perfect storm. Its demographics indicate that it's will run into state oversight and it's centrally located among all of these schools.

And to follow up, don't be shocked if other feeders are moved to Annandale (Mason Crest and Woodson feeders). Avoiding state oversight and failing schools is a big deal for the county. Don't be surprised is a bigger shuffling is included if this plan take off running.[/quote]

Mason Crest splits to Stuart and Falls Church. Pulling SFH neighborhoods out of Stuart so they can go to Annandale is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.  [/quote]

Yep

That person listing all those boundary change issues does not know what they are talking about.

Almost all of Sangster feeds into LB already. Only one small neighborhood feeds into WS.

White Oaks does not feed into West Springfield. White Oaks feeds into LB.

WSHS Sits in the middle of Cardinal Forest boundaries. You literally walk out of the HS parking lot and are in the C.F. zone.

FCPS is not going to do what that person suggests. It makes zero sense.[/quote]

You obviously have reading issues. The PP is pointing out West Springfield or Lake Braddock feeders that would be moved to make capacity. Sangster moving wouldn't impact WS, it would open capacity so Orange Hunt or some other feeder could be moved in. White Oaks feeds into Lake Braddock. Same story. The whole point is that some shifts would result in WS having the capacity to absorb the Lee feeders assigned to it it seems. The net-net would result in West Springfield being compliant but a middle of the road school like Herndon or West Potomac or South Lakes.

And only a small portion of Mason Crest goes to Stuart (the portion, btw that encompasses many apartments and multi-family units). [/quote]
