[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still think the long game is to close Lewis in a few years. It’s one of the few schools where they reduce program capacity year after year to stay right around 85% capacity, which used to be their tipping point for capacity surplus. The program capacity used to be 2000 students and now it’s below 1900. [/quote]

My own personal modest proposal for that area (and I realize it’s a very long game thing and also FCPS never has enough money to make big moves like this) is making Edison the vocational/trades magnet for all the pyramids for which it makes sense to go there, since it is pretty centrally located and has a lot of the specialty classrooms already. So it could get any vocational student from Edison, Lewis, MV, WePo, Hayfield, Annandale, Justice, WS, South County, maybe even further out to LB, Robinson, Woodson etc. if it makes sense. Then give Lewis a nice, showplace renovation and expansion and combine the current attendance area for Lewis and Edison. Make it an AP school too. It would probably be the biggest FCPS HS but not by much, and with such a large enrollment, they could really offer a lot of different classes even if the overall student body was not the highest SES in FCPS. Kids would stop transferring out unless they wanted vocational, IB, or a really specialized language, and a nice building would be a showplace for the community. [/quote]
