[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stone would not have enough kids for an AAP program. The "center" only sends 20-30 kids per grade to Rocky Run. Someone posted about it earlier.

[b]Are you proposing completely doing away with AAP? That's a different suggestion.[/b]

Not at all. Saying "Every middle school should have an AAP program" is the [u]opposite[/u] of suggesting that AAP should be eliminated entirely. [/quote]

Rocky Run only has 670 students that would go to Chantilly for HS as per the 2024-25 FCPS dashboards. Franklin is a big feed to Chantilly.  The reality is Rocky Run with AAP only for the base school should be a single feed to Chantilly HS.  Wherever FCPS can do a concise logical pyramid it should be done.

A rare occasion when MS capacity matches a HS capacity net TJ.  That's why I posted that the split feeder for Carson should be Herndon pyramid. [/quote]

I know kids who can walk to Franklin MS and are a 5 minute drive to Chantilly HS. Are you suggesting that those kids should be sent to a different MS, Rocky Run, so that they can go to the HS that is close by?

The borders in the Western part of the county are a mess because of the population density and how close the various ES, MS, and HS are located. Franklin MS attends Chantilly HS and Oakton HS. Rocky Run feeds Chantilly.

Looking at the Western HS that I think people are discussing. Pulling data from Wikipedia, so potentially outdated:

Centerville: Liberty
Chantilly: Carson, Franklin
Herndon: Herndon MS
Oakton: Carson, Jackson, Franklin, Kilmer
South Lakes: Hughes, Carson
Westfield: Carson

Carson needs to be streamlined to the new school, which would relieve Chantilly, and Westfield. It would pull some students from Oakton and a small number from SL, mainly the Floris kids and Fox Mill kids.

Now Chantilly is pulling only from Franklin, Oakton is down to two MS, and South Lakes is pulling from Hughes. Westfield is smaller and has space to pull in from other schools that are nearby and need relief.
