[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Several people have suggested this.  To be clear, here is one more +.

[b]Option A--plus all of Floris [/b]makes the most sense.  It eliminates split feeder at Floris and makes the most sense geographically.  It gets Franklin Farm off the bus to Oakton.

Options C and D are awful  No way should they have Discovery Square staying at Westfield:
1. It is one of the two closest neighborhoods to the Western High School
2. It would be the only neighborhood north of 50 going to Westfield--which isolates the students from the rest of their school community.

Option B will take way too many kids out of South Lakes.[/quote]

Also a Fox Mill parent, and I think I would prefer to move to Western because of your 1- we are also extremely close. We don't live in the actual Fox Mill neighborhood despite it being our base school; Carson is one mile away, so Western is technically within FCPS's definition for walking in HS (under 1.5 miles). Also, the rest of our neighborhood is on the other side of West Ox and will be zoned there in every scenario. Our neighborhood was divided in the last major boundary shift, and it would be really great to have the opportunity to be reunited at the HS-level (Scenario 4 did this, but Option A divides us).

I do agree that Discovery Square should be at the new school though. They are a mile away, at most. It doesn't make sense for them to go to Westfield.[/quote]
