[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know the western part of the county as well as the southeastern, but when South County opened the ensuing boundary changes left Lee (Lewis) with a high-poverty population. Is there a risk that this could happen to a school like Westfield?[/quote]

Yeah, Lewis is definitely not a school you want your child to attend at present.  Poor quality education and dangerous as well.[/quote]

This is false information. Lewis provides an excellent education, and I sincerely don't know what you're referring to with it being dangerous.

The big challenge with Lewis is that it's so small, so it's hard to support extracurricular activities. [/quote]

DP, only for activists in Fairfax County is a 1,500+ school deemed “so small”.  Over under on the percentage of public high schools in the country less than 1,500 students? I’d guess 80 or 90%.[/quote]

Well, add to that that a large portion of those kids are not engaged in the school. Poor attendance, lack of interest in school spirit, etc. Not sure if that's the fault of the admin or the parents at home, but I think it feels even smaller than it is because only about half the school is fully participating in it at a typical high school level.

So you think we should move a bunch of families to Lewis because they don’t have enough school spirit?  Seems like a weak justification to me.[/quote]
