But, the neighborhood behind the school should be assigned there instead of Fairfax.

Do you think that’s what they will do to justify this beastly renovation?

That part is like, half of Fairfax high school though.

They can also move the western part of Woodson back to Fairfax, which is closer for most of them and will provide capacity relief to Woodson.

Woodson needs no capacity relief.

Woodson is devoid of life basically.

Woodson is listed at 104% capacity in 2024-2025, projected to 106% in 2029-2030. It could use some capacity relief.

Take a look around folks. Federal workforce in DC shrinking, contractor workforce in DC shrinking, birth rates have dropped and the overall K-12 student population is shrinking. Add in moves to non-public alternatives and sure FCPS should be renovating schools but expansion no.

Well tell me, do you have a kid there.

What do they think?

I wouldn't be surprised if the next draft CIP continues to refer to expanding CVHS to 3000, or if this then triggers some angry comments from some Board members and parents at other schools that would benefit if some of the money originally budgeted for the Centreville renovation/expansion was reallocated.

Exactly.

Centreville does need renovated, but it doesn’t need a whole new tower and land leased from the park authority.

Chantilly Needs its own renovation, that school barely has any windows.

McLean needs major work to fix its issues.

Then there’s Robinson

Mount Vernon

Annandale

The rest of Justice

The rest of West Potomac (Also received an unnecessary addition.

And probably Lewis (which is essentially in hospice).

Well, the rest of Madison too.

Many of these renovations are just cosmetic and mechanical, with some of these possibly needing conservative additions, besides Chantilly (to a degree) and McLean which has been waiting for years.

"Centreville does need renovated" <--what are you trying to say here? "Centerville does need TO BE renovated??" Learn English.

DP. You had no problem supplying the missing words so no need to be such a jerk.

It does need major work done, but it should be kept modest in terms of expansion.

However I have an idea of moving the Robinson feeding part of Union Mill to Centreville with the rest of the school, move Willow Springs (sans its attendance island) to Centreville with the Fairfax feeding part of Powell into Centreville too.

That is after 362 Bull Run ES students are projected to move to Westfield High School with 200 something Chantilly High School Students.

It makes sense apart from the age-old question of who gets sent to Fairfax HS and whether Clifton would rather stay at Robinson. Maybe move all of Fairfax Villa back to Fairfax from Woodson.

Fairfax Villa would move

People who keep saying the "overall student population is shrinking" are deliberately ignoring the fact that the western and some northern parts of the county are growing rapidly. Adjustments still need to be made in those places. Under enrollment is a problem when schools lose too many as well.

Well it looks like FCPS may have the building permits to begin construction on the new 3000 student Centreville whenever they want. If they do a massive redesign to reduce the project scope, that probably means first approving a new plan and redesign by engineers and architects.

Yes.

While there is development associated with the Silver Line and the Technological Boom, birth rates are declining.

But who knows, they might rise again.
