[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you think it is possible that if they got 200 9th graders for example, they will set a boundary but not require anyone to go so the initial class might only have 200 kids.  That also does not seem ideal.[/quote]

I would be surprised if only 200 kids opted in. I expect a decent number from Floris and Fox Mill. I would guess that there will be a good number form Crossfield, the parents who don’t like the drive to Oakton. I have no idea how many will opt in from Coates and McNair. I don’t expect a lot from Oak Hill but someone posted that the families with 20 minute bus rides to Chantilly are excited about the move. I would expect most of the kids from Emerald Chase to move, their parents were pushing to leave Westfield but not go to SLHS and are happy with the new HS. I also think a good number of the kids from SLHS that pupil place to Langley or Oakton might consider it because it will be a shorter commute. [/quote]

I have no doubt more than 500 kids opted in.  The webpage originally said the opt-in period would end in February, but instead it ended yesterday.

The bigger problem is how to determine who gets accepted. They originally wanted to give priority to kids in draft boundaries, but those draft boundary options were thrown away
