[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever the boundaries that change I hope they don’t dump all the low income kids into Freedom Hill and then Marshall again.  [/quote] Especially, after y'all worked so hard to get rid of them 6? years ago. [/quote]
Some low income kids went to another school. FH is still 28-30 % Farms. Highest of any in Vienna.[/quote]

"Some" was the end result.  The first proposal from FH was the entire apartment complex. Lemon Road already had about 25% low income before the change. The original proposal would have made it a Title One school.  FH is not a Vienna school.  It is a Tysons school. [/quote]

The option that moved more kids from the apartments behind Marshall from Freedom Hill to Lemon Road probably would not have made Lemon Road a Title I school.  More likely, it would have left it just below the level entitling the school to additional funding.

[b]Freedom Hill is just as much a "Vienna school" as Madison -[/b] neither is in the Town of Vienna.  Instead, both are in parts of the county with Vienna mailing addresses. 
[/quote] Not really.[/quote]
How come? [/quote]

DP here.  One difference is that no TOV kids now go to Freedom Hill (some used to, but they were rezoned to Vienna ES), whereas all TOV kids are zoned for Madison.  But both Freedom Hill and Madison are FCPS schools located outside the TOV, and FCPS can always decide to send TOV kids to Freedom Hill again or to other high schools than Madison.

The only FCPS schools located within the town are Cunningham Park, Louise Archer, Marshall Road and Vienna - all elementary schools.     [/quote]
