Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
On the other hand, Chantilly is losing a higher income level school. |
I think it was pretty clear based on all the drama that Westfield already has more than their fair share of low income areas already attending, now they are getting assigned more low income areas from CVHS and CHS? That seems pretty crappy (and no, I don't have kids in this fight but it just seems messed up). |
| And, part of Crossfield at Skyview. Odd. |
Dp. Looks like it, and Revised Option 2 moves part of Dogwood. |
| Scenario 2 is the better of the two options. The boundaries make as much sense as can be made at this point. |
Yes, 2 moves them to Stone/Westfield. Which is very reasonable and makes sense. Waiting for the inevitable Nextdoor petition..... |
I think that includes Polo Fields. Kind of makes sense, I guess. |
Reminder: Westfield is losing two schools with high FARMS. |
All the rest of their elementary school feeders are high FARMs though (except maybe Cub Run?) and they are losing Floris. So not sure how the balance works out. A well-run school district would be tracking that behind the scenes, but, well, we have FCPS. |
The "nicer" area from CHS moved to Westfield on these 2 maps are for sure frantically organizing right now to get moved back to Chantilly. |
What a whiney post. Your “limousine liberal” purity test costs our party a lot of votes. |
They probably are tracking this behind the scenes but FCPS decided years ago they were not going to provide public information about the impact of potential boundary changes on racial demographics or FARMS rates. APS and MCPS still do. The lack of candor is probably a mix of legal advice and FCPS’s wanting to hide the ball. Reid claims to value transparency but there is far less transparency in FCPS than there was 20 years ago. |
| These two maps are similar. I think we are close to the finish line. |

Doesn’t really make sense to gut South Lakes and Westfield and leave Chantilly and Oakton so much bigger. Westfield is going to be small under either of the revised scenarios without moving kids back to Chantilly. |
