[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone from FCPS described the current Carson split as follows:

Westfield 50.7%
South Lakes 28.0%
Oakton 20.8%
Chantilly 0.4%

I guess that includes AAP kids, otherwise it seems like there would have been an earlier proposal to eliminate the splits to Oakton and Chantilly.

That must exclude AAP or the percentages do not add up.  Either that or they are excluding the AAP from Franklin.

There are over 280 attending from Franklin.  I assume that is half 7 and half 8th grade.  That be a split between Navy and Oak Hill and Lee's Corner AAP from Franklin.  Oak Hill has a LOT of kids in AAP.

The Oak Hill kids would be AAP, but that seems a very low percentage to me.  I THINK Lee's Corner AAP also goes to Carson?  Of course, some would end up at TJ, too.
 
But, I think that would only be 4 kids to Chantilly--so it must not include AAP.  I know there are a whole lot more than that.

So, those percentages must exclude AAP from Franklin.

[b]One thing for sure: those claiming this would reduce Westfield by 1000 are wrong.  [/b][/quote]

Why?  Carson is 1600.  Don't you think Westfield kids at Carson are at least 500?  Or maybe you just don't understand math.[/quote]

I understand enough math to know there are not  1600 kids at Carson .[/quote]

Let's see.

Carson has 1,360 students under Scenario 4. Are you saying fewer than 500 of these students will go to Westfield?

KAA will take 2,000 students (or 2000+ according to the last email). Crossfield is small, likely providing around 300 spots for KAA. Oak Hill could be up to 400 students at most. Floris-South Lakes should account for far fewer than 200 students. So, where are the remaining students for KAA coming from?

Westfield has over 2,700 students under scenario 4, with the vast majority from Carson and Stone Middle Schools (and a tiny number from Franklin). Are you saying that removing all Carson students from Westfield would reduce its enrollment by fewer than 1,000?

Your math just doesn’t add up.
