[quote=Anonymous]Common themes are neighborhoods wanting out of Lewis, Falls Church, and major opposition to using the 2026 FCHS 2500 new capacity.  Concurrently FCPS is fooling around with the new Western HS and adding optional programming for transfers when in that part of the county Herndon HS has available bricks and mortar square footage to handle optional programs.

[b]No base school boundaries should be moved out of Lewis to West Springfield[/b]. SY 2024-25 Lewis transfer out net TJ 39, Edison 54 [Global STEM?], Bryant 15 was 143:
South County 11
Lake Braddock 32
Unidentified schools totaling 100 were 9 AP HS and 5 IB HS all the way to South Lakes.  FCPS should provide the totals out to AP and IB - dashboard shows less than as <10 so there's no way to determine how many transferred where.  Could be max 81 out for AP including language [Langley Russian] No large number like the 164 AP Herndon to IB South Lakes or 199 Mount Vernon to Hayfield.

Since Reid now admitted IB costs more to operate than AP it really is time for FCPS to come clean on actual costs per school, class sizes for diploma candidates,  number of diploma candidates. VDOE had Lewis at 10 senior candidates and 10 IB diplomas for SY2023-24.

[b]And no base schools should be moved out of Falls Church.[/b]  I guess it's the Battle of Madison.  Fairhill wants out of FCHS.  https://www.change.org/p/reassign-fairhill-elementary-school-to-madison-high-school-pyramid?recruiter=1392392597&recruited_by_id=847b2350-aaf4-11f0-b2b6-17c661373205&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=starter_onboarding_share_personal&utm_medium=copylink

Town of Vienna residents also want Madison.  Timber Lane refuses to go to FCHS but as per their website would consider Marshall acceptable. https://timberlanemcleanpyramid.com/?page_id=23

[i]There is a lack of consideration for other scenarios: Why were Kilmer Middle School and Marshall High School not included in the proposed scenarios? Given the proximity of our neighborhood to residential borders of the Marshall High School Pyramid, this seems like a logical and feasible alternative scenario if one must be considered..."[/i]

Scenario 3 has the expanded FCHS at 93%, Scenario 4 87%.  Mclean 100% with the modular and 115% without.  Marshall 95% with the modular and 100%  without.  Put Town of Vienna back into Madison and what are the numbers?  Thru tool now has % with and without modulars.

Timber Lane to Mclean HS or FCHS appeared to be 190 students.  Shrevewood is a mess at 102%.  Where is an AAP elementary school center in the Falls Church pyramid?  Can't find one.
