[quote=Anonymous] It's all FCPS. The complaints about "gerrymandering" Vienna/Oakton students only come up when someone doesn't like being assigned to a higher FARMS schools. There are parts of Vienna zoned for Cooper/Langley and Longfellow/McLean, and you don't hear people complaining about how it's a problem because most kids in Vienna play VYI sports instead of MYB, MYS, etc. And the premise that the Oakton/Mosby Woods students were put in Jackson to "up the numbers" is wrong. They are there because Jackson is one of the closest MS to their neighborhoods (particularly where Mosby Woods is concerned). Their situation isn't so different from that of other families zoned for Falls Church HS whose kids go to Poe - which is primarily an Annandale HS feeder - rather than Jackson. But, given that the assignments are what they are, FCPS isn't going to change them without looking at how they impact the demographics at the different schools. [/quote]
