[quote=Anonymous]Isn't the base part of LJ already past the "tipping point" that a PP keeps bringing up?  I mean, if the current FARMS rate is 43%... we know that the AAP part of the school is not 43% FARMS.  So, if that chunk of LJ has fewer FARMS kids, then the base school must have more than 43% FARMS kids in order for the total to be 43% FARMS.

So, those base school kids are already passed the tipping point.  TBH, when we were looking for a house, I didn't want a house zoned for LJ (regardless of the HS being Oakton) b/c I had a kid going into MS.  While I wasn't too concerned about the AAP side of the house, I was concerned about my non-AAP MS kid and what the school environment would be like for her.  I wasn't willing to put her in a school with no friends where 50% or more of the kids were getting FARMS.  It might have been o.k., or it might not... but I wasn't willing to take the chance given that she would be coming in knowing no one.

So, I do agree that people look at demographics when buying.  I also wasn't willing to buy in Falls Church HS.  It wasn't just LJ where  the demographics for non-AAP kids were already past the so-called "tipping point".     [/quote]
