[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t Thoreau a significant split feeder to Madison, Oakton, and a little bit of Marshall? How are the kids from Wolftrap ES going to handle that or will they not make any new friends during those years! [/quote]
That’s a different block of students.

Currently, Westbriar and Wolftrap feed 100% into Kilmer and then Kilmer goes on to split about 10-15% to Madison. Scenario 4 proposed sending all of Wolftrap to Thoreau/Madison and all of Westbriar to Kilmer/Marshall, which would have resolved 3 split feeders and kept their cohorts together.

The Thoreau/Marshall split feeder comes from Stenwood and Cunningham Park. About 40% of Stenwood goes to Thoreau because they’re in the walk radius and then sent to Marshall. So they make new friends for two years and then are sent back to their elementary cohort. The Cunningham Park kids get the worst deal. It’s a very small number of kids who spend K-8 in the Madison Pyramid and then go to Marshall for HS. [/quote]
