[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any place to pull data on the number of kids that feed into a HS from each MS?[/quote]

If a MS is a straight feeder to a high school, you can generally figure that out from the FCPS enrollment statistics.

If a school is a split feeder, FCPS currently hides the ball on the split, even though the information is readily available to FCPS staff.  If you try and FOIA that information, they will demand hundreds of dollars up front to process a request.

Some of that information may be shared in connection with the 4/25 BRAC meeting in a few weeks, since the purpose of that meeting is to discuss the potential elimination or modification of split feeders.  It is not practicable to eliminate all of them, but it looks like they will prioritize any split feeders that are 80-20% or more lopsided.  Most of the split feeders split to two MS or two HS but there are some that split to three (or even four when the AAP kids are included).  For example, Carson splits to Oakton, South Lakes, and Westfield (and to Chantilly if AAP is included), and Thoreau splits to Madison, Marshall, and Oakton.

Ironically, when Thru Consulting came up with scenarios to eliminate the attendance islands on 4/11 they proposed multiple new split feeders that would be exactly the type of split feeders they've suggested they'll be looking at on 4/25.  Good way to keep themselves busy, I guess. [/quote]
