At Wegmans, I met a woman from that neighborhood who is 100% delusional. She was convinced that her neighborhood is the only "wealthy" neighborhood that currently attends Franklin, and that Brookfield is a more desirable elementary school than Oak Hill, Navy, or Waples Mill. She said Waples Mill, Navy, and Oak Hill are all high FARMS schools (huh?) and that Brookfield's test scores are far superior to Greenbriar West, Greenbriar East, Poplar Tree, and Lees Corner. She continued by telling me that without Walney Oaks, Franklin would be a Title I school and that their test scores would be low if it weren't for the "extraordinarily wealthy" children from Walney Oaks. 
She obviously is delusional. Basically every statement that came out of her mouth was false! |

While Floris is not a high FARMS school, the part that Westfield is losing does have some multi-family housing in it. But, remember FARMS can include people who fall on hard times, lose jobs, etc. So, it is not always easy to judge. A lot of schools had a jump in FARMS during/after COVID. |

| Westfield is getting destroyed with the these two new maps. Down to 2100 students. That school will be circling the drain for the next decade. |

| Does anyone know when they will revisit ES boundaries? The School Board said they are off the table for now, but when? Thanks |

In five years. |

Didn't Reid say we are going to see 3 scenarios?

| So they will make a decision in five years and then implement it within the following school year? Is that how they do it? |

Here is what the updated 2025-26 FCPS enrollments would look like under the January 2026 boundary changes and the two revised scenarios: Scenario 1: Lake Braddock 2922 West Springfield 2848 Oakton 2589 West Potomac 2558 Robinson 2549 Woodson 2471 Langley 2416 Fairfax 2344 Chantilly 2305 Madison 2227 Edison 2197 Justice 2147 Hayfield 2139 TJHSST 2125 McLean 2123 Centreville 2119 Westfield 2083 Herndon 2061 Marshall 2045 South County 2042 Falls Church 2035 South Lakes 2033 Annandale 2002 Skyview 1760 Mount Vernon 1788 Lewis 1537 Scenario 2: Lake Braddock 2922 West Springfield 2848 Oakton 2721 West Potomac 2558 Robinson 2549 Woodson 2471 Langley 2416 Fairfax 2344 Chantilly 2331 Madison 2227 Edison 2197 Justice 2147 Hayfield 2139 TJHSST 2125 McLean 2123 Westfield 2111 Centreville 2119 Herndon 2061 Marshall 2045 South County 2042 Falls Church 2035 Annandale 2002 South Lakes 1984 Mount Vernon 1788 Skyview 1760 Lewis 1537 Getting Westfield down to 2100 kids would be an inefficient use of FCPS's building resources, given Westfield's capacity, but Westfield would still have an enrollment larger than 10 other high schools, or almost 40% of the total number of high schools. People in other parts of the county have already seen their schools downsized by FCPS because FCPS was allocating so much of its capital resources to expanding schools in or serving western Fairfax. |

| In that case, scenario 2. |

Going below 2100 students negatively affects the courses available, especially at a school with a lot of FARMs students.
This means FCPS cannot cave in to the Chantilly people being moved over (all neighborhoods that make logical sense to be moved). They just can't lose any more students at Westfield. |

I think it will work out OK given the new construction in its boundary, but agree with pp. No giving in to whiny Walney Oaks people. They are adding in low income areas balanced by wealthier areas to Westfield to put it at the bare minimum of students. There is no room for doing special favors for a street or "little neighborhood". |
