[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They need to take less community input and do what is best for fcps as a whole. Less on transportation = closest communities. Less adjustments = students already at Carson. [/quote]

They stopped thinking about what was best for FCPS when they bought KAA without truly understanding what they were purchasing. [/quote]FCPS has a "possibilities" fairy problem and has had one for decades.  Reid, the SB, ... all looking to burnish their resumes for the next job by dreaming up whatever strikes their fancy. JI, FLES, IB, ... are far more exciting than making the buses run on time or maintaining hundreds of school buildings.  If the operations people had been able to keep the possibilities fairies away from KAA before they'd gutted it, [b]FCPS would be getting exactly what this part of the County has needed ever since they built Carson - a community HS for about 2000 students[/b].

And they'd have gotten the community HS for a song.  People have been treating the cost of KAA as if land were free and freely available now and forever. The reality is all available large plots of land in Western Fairfax/Eastern Loudoun are getting snapped up as soon as they become available for $3M+ an acre - GW just sold their property in Loudoun for $4M per.  Use $3M, the land itself would have cost $120M, the building was only $30M.[/quote]

That’s literally what Skyview is. [/quote]

I think PP is trying to say that the people enamored with the magnet school idea are keeping some infrastructure in the building that limits its usefulness as a community high school. If you've ever been in there, the setup is much more like a college campus building than a typical high school. [/quote]

Yes, this is why I like it. Anyone know current enrollment numbers for 9th grade? I just want to make sure my kid can do all the advanced Math APs[/quote]

Which math will your 9th grader be taking? Likely the math options will be strong considering the many kids matriculating from Carson.[/quote]

On the other hand some of the other electives stand to be anemic next year. [/quote]
