Most immersion kids come from other elementary schools in the Langley, McLean, and Marshall pyramids. They are there for the immersion program, not to avoid a “bad school.”

You could move the French program to a low SES school and then the program would just die or get turned into yet another Spanish immersion program in a few years.

Also, how many drop out of immersion for AAP?

Start another French immersion program somewhere
else. Perhaps get rid of Japanese immersion at GF and make it french.

The only schools that have Capacity and don't have trailers are Westgate, Sherman and spring hill.

More some KG kids to Franklin and move Franklin kids to Chesterbrook.

Frankly, they should end the practice of giving AAP kids "options" to go to different schools when they aren't giving all kids those same options. End AAP centers and educate everyone at their base school.

That’s a separate discussion you should take elsewhere. The future of AAP won’t be decided because a school that isn’t even an AAP center is overcrowded.

But do they have LLIV? Perhaps remove that and kids will move to the center.

That’s not going to happen, nor should it.

There must be no escape.

I'd also move a bit of the McLean-zoned part of FS to Chesterbrook so as not to create a FS attendance island if the Langley areas moved over to Churchill Road.

So:

1. Start by moving everything that's Kent Gardens-zoned and north of Chain Bridge Road to Franklin Sherman.

2. Move the Langley-zoned part of FS to Churchill Road.

3. Move the McLean-zoned part of FS that's east of Kirby Road near the 123/GW Parkway intersection to Chesterbrook.

4. If but only if that still leaves KG overcrowded, then consider moving the area off Westmoreland and north of Old Chesterbrook Road to FS as well and add another FI immersion program to Dunn Loring ES when it opens.

Are you a parent at Kent Gardens?

It looks like a number of elementary schools are being considered to take the excess. What do you want to see come out of the boundary study?
