[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is LBSS really that much of a dump that families don’t want to send their kids there? I always thought it was pretty good, based on the test scores.  [/quote]

It’s definitely a good school that people do seek out. However: West Springfield is slightly but noticeably pulling ahead lately and has a little more “prestige.” But I don’t think that necessarily matters as much, I think people just really don’t want to move. [/quote]

West Springfield isn't more "prestigious" than Lake Braddock.

People simply don't like change unless they are the ones behind the change.

Going into this boundary review, the three main things people might have predicted were Langley kids getting moved to Herndon, West Springfield and Chantilly kids getting moved somewhere, and kids getting moved into Lewis.  The first and third things haven't happened, and the fancy new Western HS addresses overcrowding at Chantilly, so that leaves the West Springfield folks who'd be moved feeling like they are getting picked on.
