[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leaving Oakton and Chantilly over capacity with 800 empty seats at Westfield and 400 empty seats at South Lakes is appalling. [/quote]

Aren't they building tons of housing near Westfield and South Lakes?

Yes, they are.

And the people complaining about losing kids from SLHS are probably more annoyed that the families/communities that they hand picked to move to SLHS are not all that interested in staying at SLHS. Most people don’t want IB. It is a fine program but I prefer AP because it allows my kid the flexibility to study what he wants instead of the highly structured IB program. Families were asking for AP when they were move to SLHS 20 years ago, is it any surprise that many people want to leave for AP?

The community wasn’t happy when they were moved. I know many families who moved between MS and HS because they did not want IB and they did not want to pupil place and drive themselves. Over a hundred kids a year pupil place out.

Maybe SLHS needs to realize that IB is a niche program that the other counties around us make opt in, they don’t force kids into it. The diploma is a lot of work but few kids at SLHS earn it, the career certificate is an attempt to make the program look more successful than it is. If the school was AP you wouldn’t have people wanting to move.

It’s not the kids or the community or the school. It’s IB. [/quote]
