[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe for this one year because its only kids who don't care about sports.

Starting next year the demographics will be more balanced.[/quote]

The second year will have all those same kids who opted in. So maybe the incoming freshman year will be different but the sophomores will be mostly opt ins.[/quote]

The first year class is going to be different than the other classes, yes. But that is literally a one time thing.

Skyview is going to be a neighborhood school with about 20-25% FARMS. The majority of kids will be aiming for classes needed to attend college, which aligns with the Advanced diploma.  I am not sure why this is a point of contention for some people.

It will potentially attract kids who are interested in STEM because of the pathways, just like Edison and Chantilly do. Those offerings did not make either of those schools a mini TJ, the pathways won’t make Skyview a mini TJ. It will develop its own reputation, which will probably be acadecally similar to Chantilly.

This is similar to most of the schools in FCPS. I mean, if your school of desire is Langley or Madison, then no it's not the equivalent, but every other school is the same.[/quote]
