[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a logical suggestion that will likely improve the evenness of region 5 schools, too. The regions are not geographically based so some region 5 schools are close to Herndon.[/quote] I agree[/quote]

I guess it depends on what you call "close."

Chantilly and Westfield are 10-12 miles away from Herndon High School.
Marshall is 12-15 miles from Herndon High School.  
Herndon is not affected at all by KAA.  All schools in Carson boundary are closer to KAA than Herndon High.  And, I cannot think of any school that is in Herndon boundary that is closer to KAA than Herndon.

So, please tell me what you consider "close."

Why would they take kids out of Herndon and send them to KAA?

They might take kids out of Herndon, and Centreville in the other direction, to backfill kids getting moved from Chantilly, Westfield and any other high school that is sending kids to the new high school.

There is always a multi school domino effect when a new high school opens that extends to many more high schools than the neighboring schools.

I think South County opening affected Lake Braddock, West Springfield, Lewis, Hayfield and Mount Vernon.  It might have also affected Edison and Robinson to a much lesser degree.

FCPS,needs to determine what is happening with the new high school and who will fill it, before rezoning any high schools.[/quote]
