[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never understood the freak out people have about the idea that some kids will go to a different middle school than most of thei classmates.  This happens all over the county.  There are lots of split feeders.  In fact, Lemon Road is actually a split feeder and a small group of those kids will go to Longfellow instead of Kilmer.

In middle school it all shakes up anyway because a bunch of different schools join.  Friendships shuffle.  It's not a big deal at all.  I have a middle schooler so I've seen it firsthand.[/quote]

Yes, there are other split feeders.  If you are referring to the prior post, however, FCPS would have ended up with an incredibly small cohort of kids going from Haycock to Kilmer, compared even to the number of Lemon Road kids who go to Longfellow.  There aren't a lot of the latter, but [b]Lemon Road actually sits within the Longfellow/McLean boundaries[/b].   [/quote]

What on earth does that even mean? Most LR kids go to Kilmer and Marshall.  A few go to LR. By definition, it's in the Kilmer/Marshall and the Longfellow/McLean boundaries.  Do you mean the area immediately surrounding the school on all sides sends its kids to Longfellow/McLean?  That seems like a weird technicality to me.  I know during the AAP boundary shift, all we heard was that LR was a "Cluster 2" school so the "Cluster 2 kids" should go there to be in "their" cluster (of course, it's not cluster 2 anymore since the structure changed).  Now all of a sudden it's in the McLean boundaries?  It's amazing how it all shifts depending on the argument one wants to make. [/quote]
