[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carson has 1,360 students under Scenario 4. Are you saying fewer than 500 of these students will go to Westfield.

286 of those students (according to transfer portal) do not live in Carson boundary.

Since the PP said there were 1600 and that 50% go to Westfield, I question the accuracy of that statement about 50%

But, in any case, almost 120 Carson students go to TJ from the last two years..  So that reduces the total going to area high schools and likely brings total to less than 1000 going to area high schools.

In scenario 4, Floris students were taken out of Westfield and there were still 2700 students. There was only minor adjustment from Centreville.

So, yes, I think fewer than 500 go to Westfield.[/quote]

I love when people treat a math question like a political debate, grasping at the slightest argument to win.

Let's see.

Enrollment under Scenario 4
Floris K-6:	731	(assuming conservatively only half of them is going to Westfield, 365)
McNair PK-2:	550	
McNair 3-6:	627	
Coates: 	688

Estimated number of students per each grade
Floris:	52
McNair:	294
Coates: 	98
Total:	444

Let's assume 100 students go to TJ from this 444 (which is a super conservative assumption).  That's still 334.  
334*2 = 668.  That's much more than 500.  Do you understand this math?

Sorry I think I made a mistake.

Estimated number of students per each grade
Floris:	52
McNair:	147
Coates: 	98
Total:	297

If we assume 100 students go to TJ from this 297, then the total will be less than 500. But only 78 kids from Carson went to TJ.  If half of them are from Carson-Westfield, we should subtract 39 from 297.  That is 258.

258*2 = 516.

Also I'm sure much more than half of Floris kids attend Westfield.[/quote]

Just for reference it’s roughly 80/20 Westfield/SLHS at Floris.  Floris parent here.  The even split went out the door once the nearly 300 kids from the Dulles Discovery complex came in several years ago.[/quote]
