[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is a lot of BS on here. Yes-- everything wants a small HS for their kids. But no one wants to sacrifice. Raise your hand if you are now zoned for Oakton or Chantilly and are willing to be rezoned-- to Westfield, or Herndon-- or  a brand new school that is a crapshoot when it opens its doors with no reputation.

Everyone wants someone else to be rezoned, so that their kid can attend a smaller school. But no one is raising their hands to be rezoned except high SES families in crappy HSs. And those are not the people who will be rezoned.

Herndon and Westfield need to keep their non-FARMS kids so they don't slide further. The SB have to pull low income kids from weak HSs and high income kids from strong performers to get a balanced HS.  It's lose-lose.

The SB is moving heaven and earth not to rezone because the Western county is still so angry from the last re-zoning that someone assaulted a SB member a couple years ago. And ask yourself if you are okay with YOUR KID being rezoned to a weaker HS or a new HS just getting started, GS unknown.  If you are, then go ahead and argue rezoning. But, I'm Chantilly zoned, and I want the Western county schools smaller. But not enough to risk my kid being rezoned to the new HS or Westfield. Or taking the hit in my house value. [/quote]

All Herndon needs to do to get higher income familiar is take from the ridiculous Langley borders that exist now.[/quote]

Not so easy when Herndon is overcrowded and Langley is under-enrolled.  [/quote]

Why don't they redistrict some of the lower income homes from Herndon to Langley then?[/quote]
