[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LJ is now over 200 students under capacity in the first year after this change was implemented.  Thoreau still has capacity, but will likely be over capacity by the fall of 2019 and surely over capacity by 2020.

At the same time as LJ's enrollment is dropping, its ESOL and FARMS rates are going up - this will be confirmed later this year when the Virginia Department of Education publishes demographic information on schools in the state (they now do this earlier than FCPS, which waits longer to publish such data that it used to).

It was predicted, it is happening, and it is bad news for LJ, courtesy of School Board members who rail against things like climate change (over which they have no authority) while ensuring that future LJ students will go to a school with fewer teachers, fewer electives, less actively involved parents, and the smallest AAP middle school center in the county.  Some flashy condos in Mosaic aren't going to change that. [/quote]

I’m thrilled with the decisions made and it has made LJ a better school environment. Do you even have a kid at lj?!  [/quote]
