[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make Oakton HS into Oakton Secondary? Facilities surely knows that the providence kids who go to the new Blake Lane School cannot be accomodated at Thoreau. So they have to go to Franklin or perhaps a new middle school within Oakton secondary??[/quote] It's crazy that kids who live so close to Lanier could get sent to Franklin. Maybe send them to Thoreau and some of the other kids moved to Thoreau back to Jackson. [/quote] This /\ ... turkey dinner winner... Providence and current SLH kids will get zoned into OES and then onto Thoreau. Can't see county going to the trouble of zoning them into OES only to then turn around and zone them back out of the pyramid again, imagine the backlash, not to mention, isn't there a 3 year hold on zoning in/out. So there will be no change in MWE and OES middle school feeding. What will change is the students who currently attend those two schools. The buildings stay put, but the students move. If OES capacity is 800+ and BES capacity is 800+ and MWS is 1000+. The only students who don't currently have a middle school home are the potential 800+ students at the new school. Where are they going to be sent? Without boundary information how does anyone know that the new school being created won't be high FARMS. There are a lot of apartments feeding into Mosby which contribute to the FARMS rate there, and those residences are as close to Blake Lane Park as they are to MWE. The students being transferred out of Providence and SLH pyramid are presumably not high FARMS, but their current schools are high FARMS. The only thing that does seem clear at this point is that once the new school is built Providence, and former SLH zoned kids will now be attending low FARMS OES. Some of the students who are now zoned for Mosby and OES who will now be zoned out, and into the new school, in the interest of having all students feed into the same school. It will make sense to zone this new school to somewhere else for middle school. It makes sense both location and SES fit to zone this new school back into Luther. There will be less outcry as the student population will now more closely align with Luther general ed students. I think this makes the most sense and the county is to be commended for actually thinking this one through. This is certainly for the benefit of all --don't you think? The demographics of the new school will now more closely align with the gen ed population at Luther, and the students being transferred into OES will no longer have to attend high FARMS schools, and can now go to a school with kids who are more closely matched to their demographic profile. The county is finally getting one right.[/quote] Is this poster actually advocating against one Fairfax and segregating children by parental income? So many words in the post that I'm having trouble understanding their position.[/quote]
