FCPS is turning the new high school purchased to fix crowding into an Aviation magnet school instead of a high school??

Look at Forestville boundaries which were last reviewed/scoped over 20 years ago. Then review ES and MS capacity - note capital projects. No moving Forestville as a Langley pyramid feeder but Forestville ES and Colvin Run ES could have boundary changes with Herndon and South Lakes feeders. We expect that to be in play but Dranesville and Armstrong are not ready...Silly Reid staffers forgot about the major new capacity at Falls Church for 2026, worked off 105%, bused walkers, no big program movement that eats capacity. All of that is not the norm for FCPS except under Reid.

McDaniel, at large SB, and Lady, Dranesville, were the names on the all MS get AAP under the 9/25/25 R Anderson item on the agenda. Only NO was Meren who has South Lakes pyramid which benefits from Herndon MS NOT having AAP. Big capacity mismatch from Herndon MS to Herndon HS even if the HS gets some of the Chantilly academies.

So the oversized Carson could actually be a split feed MS for KAA site and Herndon. In Oct 2020 FCPS SB had a doc on all MS being AAP - no transfer feeds. 5 years later those board members resurrected it. That should be in the Reid feed to her consultant Thru for the new maps.

I am not seeing much in here that has to do with the new high school, other than the suggestion that down the road Carson could be a split feeder to KAA and Herndon after it sheds all the AAP kids from Franklin now at Carson.

The misalignment of MS and HS in terms of capacities is a larger problem within FCPS, or at least challenge to the extent they are trying to reduce the number of split feeders. No one following this expects KAA to be able to accommodate twice as many kids as Carson, with its program capacity of 1,385, could accommodate.

Some of those AAP at Carson who come from Franklin are extremely likely to be assigned to KAA if it is a traditional school. Are you at all familiar with this area and are aware of the neighborhood schools?

And, I don't see Herndon kids going to Carson if they leave South Lakes--wouldn't the purpose be to assign them to Herndon Middle?

Why are you responding this way to me?

I didn’t say Franklin kids in AAP at Carson might not end up at KAA. Indeed, the Oak Hill kids well might.

I was paraphrasing the PP who said Carson might end up a split feeder to kAA and Herndon. I don’t know how likely that is. I do think it’s highly unlikely, given what we know about the relative capacities of Carson and KAA, that we could have Carson at its full program capacity (1,385) and then have all those kids attending KAA. That would imply KAA can handle over 2700 kids, and the latest from the head of FCPS Facilities is that it’s current capacity is closer to 1,300.

^ And let me give you a more refined version of this analysis.

Last year Carson had a membership of 1358. Remove the 273 kids from Franklin, and that reduces Carson to 1085. Doubling that enrollment for KAA requires a school with 2170 seats. But then let's assume 80 kids at Carson go to TJ in the future (the current numbers will go down substantially given how many of the Carson kids going to TJ live within the Franklin area). That brings you down to 2090.

But, then, on the other hand, we have Franklin with a program capacity of 844. Move 273 kids at Carson back to Frankin, and its enrollment last year would go up from 798 to 1,071, or 127% capacity. So they could end up expanding Carson's base boundaries to include some areas now at Franklin. This, in turn, makes it less likely that KAA could accommodate all of Carson, once the changes are made to make every MS an AAP center.

Another twist is that they were planning to start renovating Franklin in 2028, so it's possible they'd expand it then. However, the Franklin renovation could be delayed because of all the money that's going to get reallocated to pay for KAA's purchase and customization.

Bottom line is that there likely will be at least some period, assuming KAA opens as a neighborhood school, where it can't handle all of Carson.

I think you are confused about my response. I don't think it is likely at all to have a Herndon/KAA split at Carson. More likely, a split feeder to KAA and South Lakes--if they don't put Crossfield (Franklin Farm) at KAA, they would likely send them to Franklin, I think.

Are you forgetting that Carson currently has AAP for Navy and Lee's Corner? They would stay at Franklin. I would assume that is a fair number of kids. You seem to also be assuming that Fox Mill would be assigned to KAA. They might be, but I doubt it.

One thing that little is said about is the magisterial districts. I don't see Lady putting Coates(Dranesville) at Herndon. And, I am guessing that Meren will want to keep her South Lakes constituents--that would be Fox Mill and part of Floris (I think.) Some of Hunter Mill does attend Westfield from Carson and Floris.
Crossfield is in Sully as is Oak Hill and part of Floris. Not sure how that will play.

Rocky Run will be significantly underenrolled once they move AAP transfers out. It seems most likely that they put any kid going to Chantilly at Rocky Run. Then Franklin would be a split feeder for Westfield and Oakton.

I think we are more in agreement than disagreement, but that you somehow don't grasp that because you're conflating me with another poster.

Rocky Run will be significantly underenrolled once they move AAP transfers out. It seems most likely that they put any kid going to Chantilly at Rocky Run. Then Franklin would be a split feeder for Westfield and Oakton.

A better solution would be to put the Westfield kids at Rocky Run. They are closer to Rocky Run than Franklin.

That would make Franklin an Oakton/Chantilly split--like it used to be. i don't see them putting Navy, Waples Mill, and Lee's Corner at Rocky Run. Much of Lee's Corner is walkable.

That's not a better solution for anybody except maybe you. They are not going to send Greenbriar kids past Rocky Run to Franklin or past Chantilly to Westfield.

Please explain. No one said to send Greenbriar kids to Franklin. I said to send Westfield kids at Franklin to RR. In other words, send those South of 50 to RR.
I think some of.them are Chantilly kids.. it's hard to tell on maps.

Sorry I misunderstood your post. I thought you were advocating for sending all Rocky Run kids to Westfield so that it would be Rocky Run to Westfield, and Franklin to Oakton or Chantilly. But really you are saying Rocky Run to Chantilly or Westfield, and Franklin to Chantilly or Oakton. It looks good on a map but it creates another split feeder at Rocky Run, so that may not be viewed as more favorable for that metric by the Board.

What are the split feeders at Rocky Run? Franklin currently has Chantilly/Oakton/Westfield. I thought the only splits at Rocky Run were due to AAP/

The base boundaries of Rocky Run feed entirely to Chantilly. But Rocky Run gets a ton of AAP kids from Liberty and Stone, and a smaller number from Franklin (south of Route 50).

But, the discussion is to have only the inbound in AAP--to put AAP in all schools. I understand this to mean "no centers." That is why people have been suggesting who should go to RR to fill the space.

Franklin's base is a three way split feeder. Carson's base is also a three way split feeder. If you throw in the Franklin AAP-that makes it a four way split feeder.

Rocky Run is not a split feeder--except for AAP. Big difference.

Rocky Run is not considered

Forestville should go to Herndon, anyone looking the facts, and not relying on emotions, can see that. But that probably means nothing will actually happen to them.

Just pointing out that this is one poster with a clear agenda who has been saying this for years on these boards. You can ignore her.

No one knows how KAA will be used, but Forestville is far enough away from KAA that it is not likely to be moved as a direct result of the KAA purchase.

Not just one poster. All of us that know how to look at a map with boundaries on it can see that, at a minimum, the Herndon homes south of Rt 7 that currently go to Forestville should be in the Herndon pyramid. However that has nothing to do with KAA as KAA will be filled with kids from far south of Herndon where schools are overcrowded, and neighborhoods with long commutes are the target of rezoning every time it comes up since they don't have a local neighborhood school.

You seem to be okay with Fairfax pulling a bait and switch on those homes. First they give builders a good school pyramid to goose the sales price and then once sold switch them to a poorer performing school.

Not sure why anyone would favor corporations over their neighbors, but not surprised that you do. It’s either because you want to use those kids as your resource instead of you and the school board actually putting in the time and effort to fix your kid’s school or it’s because you think it’ll increase your own property value. Eewww David.

I really just want them to change Carson from being a 4 way split feeder. If that means they mix things up between Carson/Franklin/Rocky Run, even Hughes, then that's what they should do. We're a Crossfield family, and I don't understand why our kids don't go to Franklin with all the other kids that are going to Oakton from this region. I know most of the other Crossfield families will disagree with me because Carson is the better school, but there is something to be said for social continuity.
