[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question…why do people with kids already in Oakton HS care? [/quote]

I don't have any high schoolers but perhaps property value concerns?

It’s impossible to account for siblings forever - I had a kid in elementary when others were in college.   If they follow through with the AI sub school (robotics, computer vision, machine learning) Western will be THE coveted school, full stop.  God knows leaving that in FCPS hands is risky but if it happens it will be national news.  The demographics are always mixed in this area - we have lots of immigrant families - by the same token there are lots of parents who are serious about academics.  Personally I’d like to see Fox Mill in there since they send the kids to Carson with the Oak Hill AAP kids - it’s be nice to keep them together. I also feel bad for Emerald Chase who is at Oak Hill then cast off elsewhere. The neighborhood is often visited by Chantilly Highlands kids via the woods and basketball courts.  That said if I were in charge I’d draw a demographic radius circle around neighborhoods and that is who would be going. Forget agendas- public high school are intended to be primarily proximity. The lobbying to stay or go is next level. We go in all scenarios so Let’s go Western! Stop spending time on personal agendas and property value woes and get the AI and AE programs going.[/quote]
