[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting to see Oakton so high[/quote]

Why? It has to be the 3rd richest HS in FCPS by now behind only Langley and McLean. [/quote]

Kyle McDaniel is in that pyramid, right? He’s one of the chief architects of the boundary review and so I’m sure the school is safe from the chaos that the school board is about to wreak on the county. So corrupt.[/quote]

TJ 105.1
Langley 95.6
Oakton 94.5
McLean 92.2

I would love to see students who live in Falls Church that are currently at McLean HS be reassigned to Falls Church.  If that happens, that will bring McLean HS to 2nd place, just behind TJ.[/quote]

The highest performing kids at McLean HS attend Haycock ES, which is in Falls Church.  So I’m guessing you mean the Timber Lane kids further south near Route 29. Even if the McLean part of Timber Lane gets moved to Falls Church to eliminate the current attendance island/split feeder, McLean could still be behind Langley and Oakton. They are all top schools. [/quote]

Lots of McLean kids from Franklin Sherman, Kent Garden, and Chesterbrook ES go to Haycock because of the AAP program there.  The easiest solution is to make a McLean HS a secondary school like LBSS or Robinson SS for ONLY McLean residents.  If that happens, McLean will be in 2nd place behind TJ.

I run a $150/hour tutoring service, and over 95% of students from Churchill, Spring Hill, Potomac, Franklin Sherman, Kent Garden, Chesterbrook, Mclean HS, and Langley HS. Less than 5% of my customers are outside of McLean.[/quote]

That’s not going to happen and you don’t have your facts right, either. The AAP kids from Kent Gardens who want to attend an AAP center go to Churchill Road, not Haycock.  And if you don’t think lots of Haycock kids who live in Falls Church get tutoring (even if not from you), you’re quite mistaken.

But, again, your suggestion is absurd.  Secondary schools in FCPS are among the biggest schools in the state (Lake Braddock and Robinson, in particular).  McLean HS, on the other hand, has or soon will have the smallest capacity of any HS in the county. [/quote]
