[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, when they did the South Lakes boundary study the "reason" was that 2000 was the optimum size of a high school. That's right after Westfield had an expansion to 3000.[/quote]2000 was the official policy for "new" HSes starting in the 1980s. The policy was based on a study that indicated that 2000 was the right size to allow for a full program of studies. Sometime after the SLHS boundary study, FCPS updated the new school size policy from 2000 to the current 2500. IDK the basis for that update. N.B. Westfield and South County were constructed at 2500 despite the then current official policy being 2000...[/quote] The 2008 Boundary study dug up the old policy because the South Lakes PTA and Stuart Gibson could find no other reason to justify the study. It really had nothing to do with the number, it was just an excuse to get more affluent kids into South Lakes. [/quote] +1[/quote]
