[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is that both Lemon Road and Westgate are split feeders between 2 high school pyramids, but they are both technically in cluster 2. So moving these kids out of Haycock and assigning them to a Marshall pyramid AAP center will align them with their cluster, but not their pyramid. [/quote]

Actually, "technically" both Lemon Road and Westgate are in the Marshall pyramid in Cluster 2, even though Lemon Road physically sits in the McLean district.   They just happen also to be "split feeders" that send some kids to Longfellow/McLean as well as Kilmer/Marshall.

There are variations of this all over the county right now.  Thoreau MS is a split Madison/Marshall feeder that is part of the Madison HS "pyramid" in Cluster 2, but physically sits in the Marshall district.   I've never understood why Thoreau's boundaries weren't the same as Madison's, and Kilmer's boundaries weren't the same as Marshall's, but a former Vienna resident used to claim that people assigned to Kilmer and Madison would pitch a fit if FCPS tried to reassign them to Marshall.  Maybe that wouldn't be such a big deal now that Marshall's test scores and "ratings" are up there with Madison's.     [/quote]
