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.

what about it the huge timber lane push back about being moved out of mclean and into falls church. they bought cheaper houses zoned to a good school and don’t want to move. but everyone is ok with them staying put

and south of 7 or not. if you’re attached to langley your home cost way more than if you bought the same house in a different pyramid. our house would be easily 500,000+ less in herndon’s pyramid than langley.

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.

this would be half of great falls with this logic. homes are spread out over a large area.

the transportation savings doesn’t really add up either. the same number of buses will be out. just going in different directions. maybe you save some time. 2-9 minutes depending on if it’s HMS or HHS.

i see let's see all the transportation savings that will happen when they have AAP at all middle schools. all the HMS kids that go to hughes for AAP and stay in that pyramid will likely decrease and then there won’t be such a large number of seats at HHS. the school board should have figured out what that would look like and then change boundaries. because it seems like once they do boundaries will have to be changed again. it’s all a mess

no one cares about how much you paid for your house or what rezoning does to your house value.

Langley can’t argue that moving any of its neighborhoods to another school will eliminate most of its economic diversity. It doesn’t have any real SES diversity to begin with, although that will start to change, assuming part of Tysons moves there next year.

That argument seems to be working for the parents north of Route 29 at Timber Lane, a Title I school. That area includes a lot of low-income garden apartments off Route 29. They can also argue a move would require them to cross two major roads, as opposed to one currently.

Ultimately, this discussion is about the large number of additional seats FCPS is adding in western Fairfax compared to eastern Fairfax, especially the Tysons area. They keep McLean and Marshall small, despite the continued growth in Tysons and West Falls Church, but they expanded Oakton and Herndon more than they expanded Langley and Marshall during their renovations, may yet expand Centreville, and are adding seats at KAA. The impact of these decisions, whether driven by equity considerations or not, is impacting multiple schools, including Langley (which stands to pick up another 200 kids from McLean on top of the 170-175 students moved on 2021).

At this point the purchase of KAA is a done deal so it behooves everyone to make sure FCPS makes the best use possible of the facility.

I don’t know who you are talking about but I am not that person. You know it is possible for more than one person to see the selfishness and entitlement of certain people zoned for Langley, right? The pretend concern about what happens to KAA, along with the mentality that they should never get rezoned because they paid a lot for their home, is what annoys me. I am very opposed to moving kids around purely on equity reasons. It doesn’t help anyone except administrators who want to hide bad test scores. You’re using a strawman argument saying anyone who thinks Langley boundaries warrant the same consideration as any other boundary is an equity warrior.

the transportation savings doesn’t really add up either. the same number of buses will be out. just going in different directions. maybe you save some time. 2-9 minutes depending on if it’s HMS or HHS.

i see let's see all the transportation savings that will happen when they have AAP at all middle schools. all the HMS kids that go to hughes for AAP and stay in that pyramid will likely decrease and then there won’t be such a large number of seats at HHS. the school board should have figured out what that would look like and then change boundaries. because it seems like once they do boundaries will have to be changed again. it’s all a mess

+1. Turns out that when all you care about is equity then your analysis skills turn to mush. There is no reasoning with the poster obsessed with moving Langley. She’ll just continue her life’s work year after year, tirelessly ranting on this anonymous board. Pathetic.

I don’t know who you are talking about but I am not that person. You know it is possible for more than one person to see the selfishness and entitlement of certain people zoned for Langley, right? The pretend concern about what happens to KAA, along with the mentality that they should never get rezoned because they paid a lot for their home, is what annoys me. I am very opposed to moving kids around purely on equity reasons. It doesn’t help anyone except administrators who want to hide bad test scores. You’re using a strawman argument saying anyone who thinks Langley boundaries warrant the same consideration as any other boundary is an equity warrior.

Homeless ranter says “grumble, grumble. Langley, Great Falls, grumble grumble.”

This wasn’t clever the first 50 times you posted it. You clearly have no meaningful response because you know you’re being called out.

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.

It’s just that after you posted your missive 1,000 times and posters continuously perfectly refute it, you always come back to the same disproven junk argument. Hence, you’re the homeless grumbler. Own it- it takes a lot of posts to earn that badge from us!

Listen lady, this has absolutely nothing to do with equity/social justice/blah blah, it's purely based on location. YOU LIVE CLOSER TO HERNDON. Suck it up, buttercup.

Anyway, this is such a stupid argument to have because as far as I know, there's no proposal to move you people to Herndon anyway.

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.

what about it the huge timber lane push back about being moved out of mclean and into falls church. they bought cheaper houses zoned to a good school and don’t want to move. but everyone is ok with them staying put

and south of 7 or not. if you’re attached to langley your home cost way more than if you bought the same house in a different pyramid. our house would be easily 500,000+ less in herndon’s pyramid than langley.

The difference is that the Timber Lane change also affects Shrevewood, and in this case, Shrevewood families DON'T WANT to go to the "better" high school, they just want to stay together.

First of all, I don’t know how many more times I can tell you I am not whoever you think you have been responding to in the past. I suspect you have been responding to multiple people and you have assume it’s one person because you cannot grasp that multiple posters might feel the same way about entitled Langley people and their feigned outrage about KAA. You’re perfectly willing to throw everyone else under the bus to preserve your own situation. Second, who is “us”? Your imaginary friends?
