[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know any rising sophomores opting in?
Our base school is not great, but I don’t know any sophomores opting in to Western. They just don’t seem interested about attending a school with limited clases and activities and having to go to the base school for sports. 
And the fewer that opt in, the fewer others want to follow.
I wish they had just settled the boundaries and made everyone go.[/quote]

Yes, I know a bunch are from SLHS. I have neighbors whose kids will be moving and they told me that many of their kids friends opted in. Honestly, I know rising Juniors who are annoyed that they don't have the choice.

I would be surprised if they get 500 sophomores but they will have a decent number.[/quote]

There were only 40-45 kids out of approx. 607 students from SLHS that asked to be at Western for ninth grade as reported at last SLHS PTSA meeting when SB rep. shared data. That’s only about 15% of ninth graders and some have changed their minds and spoken with counselors to deselect after the deadline. The percentage will most likely decrease again.

What is up with School Board members selectively sharing data.

FCPS should just be transparent about the applicants from each eligible school, broken down by school and grade.   Would that really be so hard?   [/quote]

I think it was the principal that shared the data not the SB member. So it was specific to our high school. I think that’s fine in our hs pta to learn about that impact to our school. That was for rising tenth graders/current ninth graders.

People have asked for that information and been told it isn't available. They should release what they have.[/quote]
