That Rolling Valley/Lewis neighborhood is going to end up with as many or more kids than Daventry brought to WSHS.[/quote]

No it won’t. The more you say it doesn’t make it any more likely to happen. [/quote]

Are you kidding me?! It will 100% guaranteed bring more students to WSHS Than the current 20 they project.  We have two families in our neighbors who moved from that neighborhood to ours to insure WSHS. Now families like theirs will not need to move.  More families with HSers will stay put.   Daventry a publish school enrollment for HS has skyrocketed in the past 15 years for the same reason.  [/quote]

Daventry has about four times as many houses as that section of townhomes, maybe more. It’s also on a five year review cycle now, unfortunately.

If you don’t want that section going to WSHS - go with the angle of “you shouldn’t take kids from Lewis” angle instead.

I’m familiar with the townhome community in question. The obsession over it is unhinged.[/quote]

Daventry has 724 homes.

That Rolling Valley/Lewis neighborhood has 282 homes based on google maps.

Daventry has just over 2.5 more homes than the Lewis Rolling Valley neighborhood, not "4 times as many".

They both had around 20 high school students as the number used for justifying the rezoning.

Based on the rezoning numbers, the Rolling Valley neighborhood already has a higher concentration of high school students than Daventry did.

Rolling Valley: 20 HS students/282 homes = 7%

Daventry: 20 HS students/724 homes = 2.7%

Look, I think that the part of that RV neighborhood inside the parkway that exits onto Rolling Road going to WSHS makes sense on paper.  (Not the streets that exit only onto the Pkwy; those Lewis RV neighborhoods should go to Saratoga and stay at Lewis with the handful of RV houses outside the Pkwy, since they must get on the Parkway to go to all of the 4 schools.)  Anyone who tries to ignore what happened to Daventry, claiming that it won't happen to that Rolling Valley Lewis neighborhood are either being willfully ignorant, or flat out lying.

We have the recent example of Daventry, so we know exactly what will happen to enrollment from that neighborhood in the next 2-4 years.

It might not bring in as many students as Daventry did, but it will be close and far more students to WSHS than 20.
