FCPS Skyview Boundary Scenario 1/2/3

Anonymous wrote:Has FCPS committed to not doing any adjustments that increases the FARMs percentage at Westfield? Bull Run's is quite high and all the schools we are predicting will remain at Westfield are all high as well (except Cub Run's which is more average). I don't think its reasonable for Westfield to end up worse off while all the nearby schools are improved.

No such commitment, and that’s not how they roll in any event. Ask Annandale.

Bull Run doesn't seem to want to leave their Centrevile community for a much longer commute to Chantilly.

Seems more community-first for Chantilly kids to attend a school with a Chantilly address.

You mean like Chantilly High School?

Thanks United!

I don't think that's correct. There are pockets of residential buildings all through that area.

Well there should be more! 🦶

Dulles was built when there were more cows than people in Fairfax County. Don't blame United.

Nobody seems to be talking about the part of the email a couple weeks ago that said walkers would be frozen from the boundary review. Did I read that correctly? If so, that makes things more complex because you can't just send all of Lees Corner or all of Brookfield or all of Poplar Tree to Westfield because these schools all have some walkers to Chantilly.

Lees Corner isn’t moving from Chantilly HS to Westfield now. And yes, walkers have something to do with it.

I answered your question ding dong. Yes, they did say they wouldn’t move walkers from a school. So yes Lees Corner is safe. Both things are true.

I’m not sure about this. If Oak Hill gets moved from Franklin to Carson, walkers are getting moved because Carson cannot have walkers.
Maybe they are freezing Elementary school walkers.

And, don't forget the discussion of moving Lee's Corner to Rocky Run. There are also walkers from Lee's Corner to Franklin. And, except for traffic, you could have Oak Hill also having walkers to Carson.

More whack- a -mole. They never think it through for exceptions. It makes sense on its face, but when two schools are SO close together (Franklin/Carson) it makes it difficult.

I think they should keep Franklin and Carson boundaries the same.

You're the ding dong. If they aren't moving Lees Corner because they have walkers then they aren't moving Brookfield or Poplar Tree because they too have walkers. Unless they move just the outermost neighborhoods that aren't walkers, but then that creates messy split feeder issues. Therefore the "easier" solution that also appears to have less outrage is to move the kids already on a bus to Centreville to a bus going to Westfield. We can end the thread now.

Frantic Lees Corner Mom is demanding everyone stop discussing pros and cons to moving Chantilly HS neighborhoods to Westfield (which is in Chantilly).

You aren't hearing "outrage" from those Centreville neighborhoods because that demographic doesn't post on here (they have a petition which we all know is not nearly as effective as having the connections to get in person in front of SB members or Reid) and there is one Chantilly parent who sits on here 24-7 screeching whenever the topic comes up.

I disagree with sending disadvantaged kids much farther away to a school with a higher FARMs rates that they don't want to attend. I don't think FCPS should be consolidating all the
lower SES kids at one Western high school to improve the situation of everyone else. How is that "equitable"?

Here's the language from that email.

They are summarizing the feedback they are getting. They didn't make any promises not turn walkers into bus riders.

----------
Based on your feedback, FCPS has eliminated adjustments to elementary school boundaries from this study. While feeder patterns — the middle and/or high schools that some elementary schools would attend — may change, elementary school boundaries will not be adjusted at this time. As we continue collecting your feedback, we have already identified the following themes:

Keeping neighborhoods together.

Freezing student planning areas (SPAs) within walkzones; not turning walkers into bus riders.

Factoring in commute and travel times along with distance.

Considering safety: walking, teenage drivers, and traffic.

Ignores the dozens of walkers seen coming and going to Carson each day.
