[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the feeling here about Sangster is that we are being kicked out of our community. Next year I will have a senior at West Springfield and (with the boundary change) a freshman at Lake Braddock. It feels weird. And it feels like our community is turning its back on my current 8th grader.

Also moving the students from WSHS to LB is going to make LB (on the high school side) over 100%. So we are being pushed from one overcrowded school to another overcrowded school. But really if we are going to move boundaries then some WSHS people should move TO Lewis. Ugh. The solution isn’t really a solution. And. What. About. Daventry. Send all those townhouses back to Lewis where they belong. [/quote]

I think you Sangster people are losing the support of the rest of the WSHS communities, OH, HV, RV, CF, KM and WS when you word your comments as that instead of Sangster going all to Lake Braddock, you want to kick out a neighborhood from the other end and send them past the mixing bowl to Lewis.

People just shake their heads over this, because Lake Braddock is such a good school and has such close ties to WSHS.[/quote]

I'm not the OP, but honestly, it is going to happen sooner than later.  Moving Sangster is a bandaid (bring the numbers to the tippy top of what they are calling 'acceptable overcrowding..105%).  Something larger will have to give, and you can't move any more into LB...It will have to go the other way (Daventry/HV/Others?).  [/quote]

WSHS will drop by approximately 100 students when class of 2026 graduates.

105% is not overcrowded at WSHS.

The trailers are not needed once it gets to around 107% which is where it was a year or two ago.

WSHS only needs to lose around 120 or so students to hit 105%

Between Sangster getting rezoned and 2026 graduating, WSHS should lose around 200-250 students by fall 2026.[/quote]

99% of current Sangster kids already at WS will stay at WS.  There's only about 20 kids per Sangster class that are zoned for Irving/WS.  There will be little to no change in WS numbers from in 2026. [/quote]
