[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new school will be similar to Chantilly. Lots of high achievers and a good mix of diversity,[/quote]

If you evaluate the new school based on building only, sure! If you evaluate the new school based on diversity, it will be as good as Herndon. [/quote]

This new school will have the same population as Carson MS minus the AAP kids from Waples and Navy. Everyone goes on and on about how Carson is the best middle school in the County. Why would the Western High not be just as good? The AAP kids from Waples and Navy are just a tiny portion of the kids at Carson, they are definitely not the best and the brightest there by any stretch.[/quote]

Dp. Minus those Navy/Waples AAP kids, and also minus either Fox Mill or Crossfield, [b]and all of the students at Carson who end up at TJ.[/b]

Not sure how much of a difference that will make, but it's not the same population...[/quote]

How many is this, honestly? An how much overlap is there with the Navy kids? Also the kids from Floris that go to Fox Mill + the kids from Oak Hill are all from high achieving families.[/quote]

Oak hill are all from high achieving families.

From PP, The AAP kids from Waples and Navy are just a tiny portion of the kids at Carson, they are definitely not the best and the brightest there by any stretch

I am reasonably certain that many of the top kids in Mathcounts are from Navy. I believe the same is true for Science Olympiad. A lot of the kids from those two activities go to Oakton or TJ. Not saying that dictates anything but that the kids who seem to be most interested in, or at least participate in, the STEM competitive clubs seem to come from Navy. I don’t know everyone, just going off of what the few kids I know who participate have said.[/quote]

That's fine, because Western isn't going to be a STEM school. Frankly, we don't want the Navy kids there anyway. They have a reputation at Carson as being incredibly arrogant, I don't think they and their parents are particularly loved by staff.[/quote]
