[quote=Anonymous]Another fact to enter in the discussion is that there is a big difference between AP schools and IB schools. People are usually granted permission to transfer if they want either of these and their base school does not offer it. In addition for years good student athletes can apply to attend a school that offers something their base does not such as Italian.

The benefit for teachers to pupil place is something that needs to be kept. All of them are Fairfax County residence and it makes sense to have them attend school close to where they work, especially in the early years. Then again, if they have neighborhood friend groups, it might not be such a great idea.

There actually used to be a more rigorous check on residency, but that was abandoned about 10 years ago. I know for a fact that when one sends a mailing out to all students that a number of these come back addressed not found. There used to be something done about that, but not any longer.

We also know that the metro stop near Oakton high school attracts many from the district and Maryland to attend that particular high school.[/quote]
