[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anybody else want to put chances of each ES going to the new HS

Floris : 100% (Literally in Floris district lines)
Oak Hill : 95% (Very Small chance staying Chantilly with overcrowding there)
McNair : 90% (Small chance of staying Westfield or going to Herndon)
Coates : 85% (Small chance of staying Westfield or going to Herndon)
Crossfield : (75%)
Fox Mill : (65%)

Honestly both Crossfield and Fox Mill could go to South Lakes instead of the new HS and petty equidistant from those two options. However, it is easier to backfill Oakton with growth in Tysons. Hence higher chance of Crossfield being moved. Also Meren represents all of Fox Mill but only a fraction of Crossfield hence, the only option she has to protect South Lakes it to retain Fox Mill.[/quote]

Floris: 100% (no brianer)
Coates: 100% (no brainer)
McNair: 90% (very likely)
FMES: 70% (the question is Meren)
Crossfield: 33% (Honestly, Oakton will be still better than the new HS)
Oak Hill: 50% (OHS’s probem is the middle school. It is very close to Franklin and should stay at Franklin and I don’t know if they create a new split feeder)

I am not sure I follow Oak Hill at 50%.  Floris and Oak Hill are the two closest schools to KAA.  Add in that they are trying to mange Chantilly’s capacity.  I think it’s more like 90% Oak Hill gets moved to KAA.  That will allow them to keep all the other neighborhoods being proposed to switch out of Chantilly by Thru at Chantilly.

They do have a problem at the middle school level, but they could fix that a few ways depending on who else ends up at KAA. [/quote]

Easy. Make Franklin an AAP center which pulls kids back to Franklin, then rezone Oak Hill to Carson. [/quote]

DP.  Exactly the opposite of what should be done, which is eliminating AAP centers.[/quote]
I think by making Franklin a "center" what they really mean is making it so in-boundary AAP kids for Franklin go there instead of having the option for Carson.  Not necessarily a center that draws other kids from outside its boundary.  Bringing those AAP kids back to Franklin would increase it's average test scores, increase club opportunities at the school, and help it to get better rankings from sites like greatschools.[/quote]

FCPS has foolishly been dragging its feet on this. Franklin students should've been sent back to Franklin many years ago. [/quote]

100% it is under capacity and [b]it has dedicated AAP classes already. [/b]Plus, please get the Navy kids out of Crossfield, it will be better for everyone.[/quote]

No it actually doesn’t. They cluster the AAP kids in honors classes, but don’t appear to have classes with only AAP kids. [/quote]
