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

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.

LOL that's not what this is about. This is about the buyers of those homes, not the sellers. You chose to buy a cheaper house closer to another high school instead of the more expensive house closer to your preferred high school YOU made that choice. FCPS didn't make it for you. Your school pyramid is never guaranteed.

No, I don’t live anywhere near there, just calling your pretend equity agenda what it is- naked selfishness

DP. And the people who think their school boundaries should never change are noble and selfless individuals? Please! They wanted a home zoned for good schools but couldn’t actually afford to buy closer to the schools, and now they selfishly want to be treated as special during a *county wide* boundary review. Why should others’ boundaries be looked at but theirs not touched? Anyone with a brain knows it was a risk to buy a home in an area closer to Herndon but zoned for Langley. We avoided it for that reason.

Your argument that changing that boundary is purely an equity push is not a very good one. If Herndon schools are closer, then it’s a transportation/commuting issue. Now if the school district wanted to move kids who live closer to Langley out to Herndon, then you could argue it’s an equity push.

Sorry you’re mad that everyone sees the obvious.

One of the biggest challenges is dispelling the simplistic notion that just because the average standardized test scores are higher at School A are higher than at School B that School A is in some way necessarily "better" or that your child will receive a better education at School A than at School B.

How simplistic is it to think kids get a better education when they are attending a school with a stronger peer group?

Part of the reason there is enthusiasm for KAA is that it likely stands to have only one majority low-income feeder (Coates).

It's ridiculous you think those homes are entitled to go to the same schools in perpetuity. Population grows and shrinks. Schools get built or expanded. They didn't have space for them at Herndon in the past. Now they do. Herndon is MUCH closer. It's that simple.

DP. There’s nothing “simple” about when FCPS chooses to buy, expand, or neglect a school. That’s the problem - it’s all so arbitrary.

Where I grew up, and probably in most of the country, school districts are much smaller and aligned with established towns, not counties being arbitrarily chopped up and boundaries shifted this way and that. This was much more stable, predictable, and better than FCPS.

+1. These equity warriors would destroy the entire school system so that everyone can have the exact same experience. A crappy education.

They don’t realize all the people who can afford it would flee the county schools. The social justice warriors aren’t very bright. And they hurt all kids, including the ones they pretend to help.

I don't care about Herndon vs. Langley. I bought in an area that had the possibility of rezoned (where this western high school is, actually) and I understood the risks to our housing prices when we bought it. We just like the house and the area and the nearby schools are all good (even South Lakes, gasp).

You can try to call anyone who thinks the Herndon and Langley boundaries should be looked at an equity warrior, but it isn't going to work. There are practical transportation-related reasons to look at it, but we all know people with money feel entitled to keep things the way they want no matter what happens anywhere else.

I am in no way an advocate for sending kids to a school further from their home in order to balance demographics or anything like that. I am in favor of looking at sending kids to schools closer to home if it can solve a problem or save some money. You just said yourself that you like town based school districts there the boundaries are more compact. Yet you seem to argue that kids should attend a high school 10-11 miles away in favor of one 3-4 miles away because why exactly? You are talking out of both sides of your mouth.

Also, I am pretty sure town vs. county based school districts is a state by state thing. All of the public districts in VA are county run, except for the incorporated cities. We don't have towns and townships the way some other states do. I too wish we could get rid of county based districts, but that is a VA thing not an FCPS thing. It stinks for larger counties like this one.

Do you have a brain injury or some kind of processing impairment? I am not a social justice warrior. Just pointing out the entitlement of people who think they are the only ones whose boundaries shouldn't be touched during a county wide review. It sucks for all of us.

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.

It's ridiculous you think those homes are entitled to go to the same schools in perpetuity. Population grows and shrinks. Schools get built or expanded. They didn't have space for them at Herndon in the past. Now they do. Herndon is MUCH closer. It's that simple.

DP. Just because this is what you’re used to, does not mean it is the only way things have ever been or could be.

Where I grew up, and probably in most of the country, school districts are much smaller and aligned with established towns, not counties being arbitrarily chopped up and boundaries shifted this way and that. This was much more stable, predictable, and better than FCPS.

+1. These equity warriors would destroy the entire school system so that everyone can have the exact same experience. A crappy education.

They don’t realize all the people who can afford it would flee the county schools. The social justice warriors aren’t very bright. And they hurt all kids, including the ones they pretend to help.

You know what's really not bright? Buying a home closer to Herndon HS than Langley HS if you don't want your kids to attend Herndon.
