[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anyone questions the nearly unified community opposition to the boundary review I strongly suggest that you drive through the neighborhood that is getting moved from McLean to falls church high. Pretty much every house has a yard sign opposing the move.[/quote]

All that shows is one neighborhood that should have never been zoned to McLean (it’s far away) being unhappy about the prospect of being moved. It doesn’t say the rest of the FCPS community is opposed to changes.[/quote]

It’s an example of what’s happening across the county at nearly every location with a proposed move. Gatehouse has been getting deluged by angry constituents, and if anyone said otherwise just know they are gaslighting.[/quote]
That’s not the case. We live in an area with a lot of recommended changes and I haven’t seen a single sign. It doesn’t mean the county is unopposed to change, but the outrage at TLES is on a different level. [/quote]

It’s not just Timber Lane not wanting to get moved from McLean to Falls Church.

It’s families at Lemon Road living next door to Marshall not wanting to get moved to McLean.

It’s families at Shrevewood not wanting to see their school turned into a new split feeder to Marshall and McLean.

It’s families at Westgate who live next door to Westgate not wanting to be moved to Franklin Sherman.

It’s Westbriar families wondering why they are being moved from Marshall to Madison, with the Wolf Trap area at Marshall potentially left isolated from the rest of the Marshall attendance area.

There’s a reason why the whole area near the McLean/Marshall boundary is the biggest “hot spot.” The FCPS/Thru proposals affecting those schools were incredibly sloppy and the bigger issue is the lack of attention to the needs of Kilmer MS in the Marshall pyramid and McLean HS. [/quote]

People don't want to be moved to worst schools , no one wants to go from McLean to Marshall, Marshall to Falls Church , however the opposite is fine. You would rather be at McLean than Marshall, Marshall rather than Falls Church [/quote]

Not necessarily.

Lake Braddock is a stronger school than South County.

The Silverbrook neighborhood slated to move from SoCo does NOT want to get rezoned to Lake Braddock.  They want to stay in their community, in the school they picked when they bought their house.

Most people want to stay in the school they chose and do NOT want the school board to gerrymander them into a different school.[/quote]

Yeah because the commute to LB from there is crazy, especially if there’s ongoing construction on Lee Chapel. If it wasn’t so far away, they’d probably be pretty happy about it. [/quote]
