[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least in terms of Jackson's base boundaries, 32% go to Oakton and 68% go to Falls Church according to this FCPS document.

When you adjust for the AAP students from Thoreau at Jackson, who are about 7% of the enrollment at Jackson and end up at Madison, Marshall and TJ, the percent who go to Oakton is about 29%, and the percent who go to Falls Church is about 63%.

You are telling me that 6 schools feed to LJMS and FCHS and account for 68%, and somehow Oakton, and not all of Oakton, and Mosby make up 30%? Someone's numbers are not adding up. 6 schools = 68% 1.5 schools = 30%???[/quote]

If you were to assume that all those schools were of equal size, 2/3 of Oakton and all of Mosby Woods would account for about 20% of Jackson, before the AAP students from Thoreau were factored in.

But the schools aren't the same size.  Mosby Woods has over 1000 students and is more than twice the size of the some of the schools that feed 100% into Falls Church.  I assume that's why it ends up a 32% -68% split.

Under any scenario it's significantly higher than 8% as was suggested in a PP.[/quote]

Because it's a center school!!! That's why it larger. The center kids-about 79% come from Fairfax city an do not go to LJMS. Do again, explain the numbers, please![/quote]

About 35% of the kids at the MW AAP center come from the two Fairfax City schools, not 79%

You should really send a FOIA request to FCPS if you want to understand exactly how FCPS came up with the 32-68% split.  [/quote]

Fairfax Villa, Marshall Road, Providence and Daniels Run feed to MWES AAP. Does this change the numbers you quoted? [/quote]
