[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unrelated to boundaries, but it looks like Sangster was just rated the #1 Elementary School in Fairfax County and #2 in all of VA.  [/quote]

Sangster darn well better be rated as one of the best. They have the lowest ELL population in the county, even less than Great Falls ES, and equally low FARMs. Anything less than peak SOL scores would be a shameful result.[/quote]

Sangster is actually one of the wealthiest elementary schools in FCPS

Ooh, what if to keep that Sangster neighborhood at WSHS, they move some Orange Hunt kids to Rolling Valley, and move that Sangster neighborhood into Orange Hunt Elementary,?

They keep saying that their Sangster classmates who attend Lake Braddock are not their community, that the West Springfield schools and kids are their community.

Moving them out of Sangster would solve all those issues, by moving them away from the LB zoned students who are not their community, and into a WSHS zoned elementary school instead. The townhomes across from Sangster and the Reservation houses could stay at Sangster and LB, but the other half of that neighborhood could all move away from Sangster, since they don't feel a connection to that community the way they feel a connection to the WSHS neighborhoods and students

That would fix the Sangster split feeder and move that neighborhood away from Sangster and over to their friends and community.[/quote]

I think moving those families to OH is a decent idea.  It would require a bunch of other movements though, as you outlined.  I think some Sangster families would not be pleased either.  I think some of them very intentionally chose the unique combo of Sangster and WSHS.  Would they really want to be moved out of the #2 elementary school in VA?!  Even before those rankings were released, Sangster was viewed as the best elementary school in the area. And some put WSHS above LBSS for various reasons.  Even if they don't vocalize this, they're probably thinking it.[/quote]
