[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friendly to military kids is a turn on. Yes, we want to be helpful to military kids and open to them coming in. Having a lot of military kids is a turn off for people who don't want to have to keep saying goodbye to friends and making new ones. For the same reason military kids want to be in groups with other military kids so they can all be one clique, other people see this as a negative.[/quote]

It's neither here nor there.  The mobility rates (student turnover) for Lake Braddock, Robinson, and West Springfield are towards the lower end for FCPS (West Springfield, at 8.2%, was higher than at Lake Braddock (5.7%), Langley (4.0%), McLean (6.4%), Robinson (5.7%), but still lower than at most high/secondary schools in the county).

Schools all over FCPS are used to kids coming or leaving during the school year, whether it's students from military families, World Bank/State Department families, or minors from other countries arriving in January or February, when some schools often see an increase in their enrollments.

As much as PP wants OP to think LB, Robinson, and West Springfield are the only places for military families to consider, that's just not the case.  Go to a basketball game at South Lakes in Reston or West Potomac in Alexandria, and you'll often see a Junior ROTC division lead the opening ceremonies.  [/quote]
