[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emails went out that the Skyview kids will be getting Academic Counseling soon. I am hoping that we have a better idea about the class size for the 9th and 10th graders tomorrow night. I would guess that there is a higher number of 9th graders then 10th graders. [/quote]

Given that taxpayers across the county are funding this new school, they really should be transparent about the number of students opting in and whether they plan to open up enrollment to students outside the designated five pyramids.

But they've boxed themselves in.  If they limit enrollment to students in the five pyramids and don't get 1000 kids opting in, it demonstrates their opt-in model didn't meet expectations.  If they start welcoming students from other pyramids, people will say Reid was more intent on opening a quasi-magnet than focusing on overcrowding relief at Chantilly or other schools.      [/quote]

I can confirm they have 500 for each grade[/quote]

They literally sent out an email yesterday that said this:
Dear Families,

With nearly 650 students already enrolled for August, Skyview High School is quickly becoming a reality. Academic pathways have been finalized, classrooms are taking shape, and our school community is coming together.

If your family is still considering Skyview, we would truly value the chance to connect with you before key decisions are finalized. We understand that choosing a new high school is a significant decision. You may be wondering:

What will the first year really feel like?

How will academics, advising, and extracurriculars be structured?

What makes Skyview meaningfully different from other options?

Is this the right fit for my child’s goals and interests?

Our upcoming Countdown to Launch event is designed [/quote]
