As far as we’re concerned, we don’t know what will happen when it opens under what map it is given.

With Option C plus discovery, western would have 2207 students.

Minus Fox Mill Woods (who would still want to stay at South Lakes), the number of students at western would be 2,169.

Not bad if they build it to 2,500 students.

Just realise that opening a new high school creates a big ripple effect across the part of the county/ school district it will inevitably serve.

Pair that with a comprehensive boundary review program and other high schools will be touched.

No reason to expand to 2500 students when there are so many empty seats at Herndon.

Stop mentioning Herndon.

Nobody cares about their 400+ empty seats.

It's 700 empty seats, not 400, and before FCPS plows tens of millions more into Western the School Board has a fiduciary duty to make appropriate use of those seats. We were told Western was basically ready to go only to later be told it can only handle 1000 kids. Expand it to 2000 so it's viable but beyond that no more money should be spent on Western when there are empty seats nearby to the north.

That's not trolling, it's common sense.

There are lots of students to fit those empty seats to the North of Herndon. They are much closer than the kids slated for Western.

Are those Langley kids.

Also, screw you to whoever made this about Herndon,

We could care less.

It was renovated and expanded to hold 2500 students.

It had 2074 in September.

Don’t tell me it was built to hold 2700 you pipe smoker!

It has a design capacity of nearly 2800 students, and has 675 empty seats.

Another example of FCPS overexpanding a high school and putting deep under capacity.

I’m sick of FCPS.

Revolted by their inability to actually design a building.

2500 would have been better for Herndon anyway.

But let’s not bring this up.

Well, according to Kathy Smith (former Sully School Board member who is now the Sully supervisor), under 2000 is the ideal number for a high school. At least that is what she claimed in 2008.

And it has nothing to do with the Western Boundaries. Herndon is not in the picture at all. There is an entire topic to discuss the larger boundary issues. This topic is specific to Western because it is a new school and the boundaries won’t be set until June. There are many ways to fill those Herndon seats but none involve the Western HS.

There is no reason to have more than 2000 seats at Western. Period. Anything more is an egregious waste of taxpayer money.

2000 is an arbitrary number. It should be whatever the existing school and buildings can hold. I thought that estimate was 2200. No one is asking to expand the school, but if it has room within the existing buildings for 2200 then that's what it should be.

All we really know is that it can only accommodate 1000 high school students this fall. There’s been no official statement that it could handle 2200 students with just interior modifications. Facilities did suggest they’d need to use the space in the two auxiliary buildings to get to “2000+.”

I am also sick of FCPS. And I will keep bring it up so long as FCPS continues to demonstrate such utter incompetence of leadership.

Reid, the SB, and much of Gatehouses needs to resign in disgrace.

I haven’t been on this thread since it had single digit pages, and here I find the topic back on Herndon??? I know no one at Herndon who wants to “change the demographics to up test scores” as is often the claim when the Western HS comes up. As we can see once again, the idea brings out the crazies from outside the pyramid. We don’t need your insanity.

Having said that, there is no need to keep expanding schools. There are enough seats in FCPS. HHS did not need an expansion.

What the county really needs is rubber rooms for all the parents bouncing off the walls here.

The biggest scum on this forum are those who wait until their own schools are nicely renovated and expanded and then say no other schools should be expanded. They absolutely should expand Centreville - just not to 3000.

Sorry, I never vote for the expansions even our own school. Call me scum all you want. FCPS does not need more seats. It is a simple math problem unless you were educated in a district like FCPS.

Again, keep you and your crazy friends out of Herndon. And keep Herndon out of your looney conversations.

You can probably do addition and subtraction. It's apparently anything more complicated that leaves you in the dark.
