[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Using VDOE statistics for current 6th graders, it appears a new high school drawing from the current 6th graders from Coates, Fox Mill, Hutchison, McNair, Oak Hill, and 1/2 of Floris would look about like this:

Class size - @ 560-570 kids

FARMS rate: @ 33.5% (slightly above current county-wide rate)

Ethnic composition:  Asian 36.7%, Hispanic 27.3%, White 22.4%, Black 9.2%, Multi-Racial 4.4%

So, like Centreville and Chantilly now, it would have a plurality Asian population and would not resemble Mount Vernon, which is currently both majority FARMS and majority Hispanic.

Ok Now do Coates, McNair, Hutchinson, Herndon, Dogwood and you will find the Mount Vernon of Western Fairfax.[/quote]

If you combine all Five of those you get 790 as a class size with 58 percent FARMS rate 
Take out McNair it’s a manageable 616 kids as the class size with a 68 percent FARMS rate.

For reference Mount Vernon HS is only 60 percent FARMS………
So yes such a Western HS will end up potentially having the highest FARMS HS in the entire county.

Which is why they are not going to assign that combination of schools to Western High, as has been pointed out repeatedly.

You seem to think you’re making a clever argument, but you’re not. [/quote]
