[quote=Anonymous][quote]There are 224 kids transferring into South Lakes this year. About 2/3 (155) are transferring from Herndon. Westfield and Oakton also send 33 and 20 kids to South Lakes this year. In comparison, South Lakes only sends 13 kids to Herndon this year. FCPS shows both Herndon and South Lakes as closed to new transfers in 2022-23.

The 2007 boundary change ended up overcrowding South Lakes, so they built a further addition to South Lakes to the school outside the normal renovation cycle. Because people from Reston typically have had the most influence over Hunter Mill politics, many of the Hunter Mill School Board and Board of Supervisors members over the years (Stu Gibson, Pat Hynes, Kathy Hudgins, Walter Alcorn) have had close ties to Reston and/or South Lakes. They look out after that school. Dranesville politicians only pay attention to Herndon when they want Herndon residents to vote for Democrats.[/quote]

Another reason to get rid of IB.  This encourages Pupil Placement.
