I made this comment on another post and got a lot of likes from my statement, so I must not be the only one that feels this way. My comment was Ive lived in Riverstone for over 10 years now. I like the idea of ALL of Riverstone going to the same middle and high school. It builds a sense of community. I wish that we could all go to the same elementary school, but this is a great start to unifying Riverstone by zoning kids to one middle school and one high school. The proposed Elkins plan allows for ALL of Riverstone to be zoned to the same middle school, FCMS, and the same high school, Elkins. I know there are petitions going around to keep the newer sections of Riverstone zoned to FSMS and then feed into Elkins. I understand that it is painful at the individual level to have your child switch schools at a painfully awkward stage in life. But, Riverstone is growing by leaps and bounds and I dont think the current plan is feasible. I have a 6th grader at FCMS and the teachers have been wonderful. I know that FSMS is also an excellent school from my friends childrens experiences. From my perspective, it is shifting from one good school to another AND at the same time unifying Riverstone.
