Cute conspiracy theory. They don’t have a position on the school. Most people in great falls don’t care about the school because it doesn’t affect us directly. There are a few people who question the costs for the school, just like the school board members have done recently.

BS. You don't speak for all of Great Falls nor does Fairfax Matters or the very limited number of persons who are on the GFCA. It's great that FCPS did this and spending 50m+ more to make it a solid AP comprehensive HS is a worthwhile use of our tax dollars for a county wide school division. Main complainer on Western is Meren. That one also voted NO on all MS having AAP. Lady likes the concept of a Loudoun style magnet BUT recognizes that this is a different situation since she stated there are 1700 students learning in trailers and 2 modulars in all involved schools. TJ as an option was created because FCPS had low enrollment at the site.

Those 2 modulars, Chantilly and Centreville, were installed in 2005. Churchill Rd has one that was installed in 2006 with a 280 student capacity. So as Tysons grows and empty nesters residences get replaced by k-12 there eventually could be an ES capacity deficit. 4 feeders had 533 less members in SY2024-25 than in SY2004-05. Spring Hill grew by 206.

Of course, I never claimed to speak for all of Great falls. fairfacts is a county-wide organization, so they certainly don’t speak for Great falls.

But note you’re trying to put words in my mouth, I’m just refuting the claim that Great falls was somehow against your community getting a new school, because no one has ever pointed to an actual statement from any GF organization to that effect. I just see people questioning the cost, just like, as you point out, meren has, and I’ll add Dunne has.

We all know that Fair Facts was started by and run by people in Great Falls. But Aren't there also TWO Great Falls Associations because they got in a fight? I would love someone to explain all the Great Falls drama sometime! How can one tiny part of the county have so much drama?? My part of town doesn't have a citizens association, no drama other than the Oakton moms!

All of the comments are up online as well.

Where can we find the comments?

https://www.fcps.edu/november-12-2025-superintendents-boundary-review-advisory-committee-meeting

They didn’t post the region 2 comments correctly.

A lot of the comments are posted incorrectly or in the wrong region. My kids go to Gunston which is heavily impacted by proposed changes and comments are in multiple regions. There are hundreds of comments about this school.

Is Gunston in region 4?

There were pages of Gunston comments in the region 4 notes.

What’s the issue with Gunston Elementary?

Hagel Circle.

It is a very poor housing complex that has been moved around from school to school, because none of the wealthier areas want the public housing complex.

FCPS finally settled on putting them into Halley a decade plus ago, a far away neighborhood on the other side of 95, around 4 elementary schools away from Hagel Circle.

From the map 1-3 comments, it sounds like one early version of the map put them at Lorton Station, which is located like a block away from Hagel Circle. That went over like a lead balloon, so in map 4 FCPS moved Hagel Circle to the next closest elementary school, Gunston, which will put them over capacity and overload their septic system.

Gunston does not want the poor kids from Hagel Circle either.

Right now, they are bussed so far out of their neighborhood to go to their elementary school, which affects their achievement, attendance and any possible parent involvement. It is basically the equivalent of bussing a Vienna elementary school past the beltway to Annandale... not one parent of any group but the poorest among us would stand for this if it were our own kids.

There are a ton of posts going back and forth from parents in those potential receiving schools of all the reasons why Hagel Circle should remain at far away Halley and not get rezoned to one of their neighborhood schools.

For one of the bluest areas of Fairfax County, the hypocrisy is astounding.

It's definitely more nuanced than how it's described.

Hagle Circle goes to South County - Halley Elementary is also zoned for South County, they're both areas of Lorton - so not exactly comparable to Annandale and Vienna.

When Lorton Station Elementary first opened up, Hagle Circle went to Lorton Station - somehow they got moved to Halley Elementary and Lorton Station suddenly had capacity for an AAP Center. So Lorton Station, which is the neighborhood school for the area and the closest school to Hagel Circle uses their AAP center status as an excuse for insufficient capacity. According to the capacity maps, even with Lorton Station's AAP center status - there is room for the Hagel Circle residents. I'm not a fan of the AAP centers, but it's clear that in this case - the AAP center was used to push neighborhood kids out of their school.
...

Finally, Halley Elementary (located just around the corner from Sandy Anderson's neighborhood) will end up with 68% capacity and almost no FARMS or low-income students. Meanwhile, Gunston will likely become a Title 1 school with a very high FARMS rate and a 98% capacity. That 98% capacity entails using dilapidated trailers to house these students. It's also one of the only schools with a septic system in the entire county and there are ongoing issues with the septic system that result in trucks emptying the septic nearly daily. So yes - the Gunston community clearly feels as though their school and community were completely disregarded in the process. More so than almost any elementary school in the entire county.

Halley:
membership SY2024-25 622
scenarios 476
Hagel Circle =146 ?

Lorton Station 736+ Hagel Circle 146=882 or 99% but it's larger than Gunston and NOT on septic.
Lorton Station 736-AAP transfers 52 + Hagel Circle=93%

So move the AAP feeds to where there is space. This is ridiculous. Lorton Station has program capacity of 888. That site should be an inhouse AAP only.

Why is Lorton Station, a Hayfield school, even the AAP elementary school for all South County feeders? Not a single Hayfield elementary school feeds into it for AAP.

I’ve often wondered that myself. It gets all of South County’s AAP, plus Saratoga (Lewis), plus Gunston (South County/Hayfield). Meanwhile, a lot of AAP kids in the Hayfield pyramid are bussed up to Springfield Estates (Lewis) for AAP. That includes kids at Island Creek, Hayfield, Lane, etc. Lewis kids get to stay at Springfield Estates for AAP. I’m assuming this is some artifact of when South County was created and they didn’t want to change the AAP boundaries or add new programs. Possibly a “deal” to support Lorton Station by giving it AAP and dividing up the low income areas between elementary schools and between Hayfield and South County. SC ended up with Hagel Cir being bussed to Halley, and the low rise garden style condos at the end of Silverbrook Rd. at Laurel Hill. Lorton Station and Hayfield had to take the Woods of Fairfax apartments and obviously the low income apartments that are located in the same cul-de-sac as Lorton Station Elementary and they were also given all the AAP kids to keep them afloat.

Well, now with LLIV at all the SC elementary schools, I’m not even sure how many families are electing to go to the center at Lorton Station. I’m in the South County pyramid and I know only one family from my kids’ school who went to the center. You can look at our student numbers yourself at Silverbrook, Newington Forest etc., there is no major “3rd grade dropoff” in enrollment. Lorton Station’s AAP seems to exist mostly to backdoor middle class Saratoga kids out of Saratoga and Lewis, since the middle school AAP center is Lake Braddock.

+1, We're at Gunston and I only knew one family who elected to leave the in house Local Level IV for the AAP center at Lorton Station. I do know multiple Gunston families who live in the portion of the school zoned for Hayfield and complain about how they have to go to Lake Braddock for middle school AAP instead of South County, when South County is much closer. Funny - how somehow, an issue involving South County zoning, ties back to families trying to avoid the Lewis pyramid. Lorton Station is an AAP center, and it looks like the majority of students transferring there are from Saratoga. Why isn't there Local Level IV at Saratoga? Again, instead of moving boundaries around at elementary schools and damaging communities, why isn't the school board focused on implementing Local Level IV at all schools?

There is LLIV at Saratoga but the kids all go to the center at Lorton Station because then they can do MS AAP at Lake Braddock. Not sure what they do after MS, maybe LB for HS for AP classes if it’s not closed to transfers, maybe Hayfield or South County for AP otherwise. Maybe their parents just move. I have no idea why Saratoga is the one Lewis school at Lorton Station/Lake Braddock for AAP when all the other Lewis schools and Hayfield’s schools are at Springfield Estates.

Didn't they put out a letter saying it should be a magnet school? Or was that just the Nextdoor lady?

Glad you asked, the group that put out a letter saying it should be a magnet school was a Democratic Party-aligned group not based in Great Falls.

I assume you’ll now spend significant amount of time attacking the democratically-aligned organization with the same vigor with which you attack great falls, right? Right?

I've no idea who wrote the letter, but it sounds a lot like the message going out from Great Falls residents posting on Nextdoor. Some freely suggested that we could send the kids to Herndon--no matter that it would not hold all the students and would be a very long commute for the school that needs it most.
For a community who lobbies to stay put, they were very anxious to move other kids here, there, and yon.
There was one FairFacts leader who posted that there were lots of extra Fairfax government buildings that could be used. She did not list one that would have helped the area that needs a school.
I think they really do not understand just how crowded the schools in this area are.

If you think the people who are opposing this school are all Republicans, you are very much mistaken.

And, why haven't we seen organized protests from other areas of Fairfax County?

Nope, maybe Crossfield/Oakton moms, but they don't represent this entire area. They don't even represent all of Crossfield. They represent a small group of 6th-11th grade parents zoned to Crossfield + Crossfield parents who send their kids to Navy AAP.

IDK who wrote that. Herrity added in Herndon which distorts the numbers and included modulars [2005 installs at Chantilly and Centreville] for the other schools. Using the CIP28-29 Langley 2285+ SY24-25 Spring Hill Island 201-2485. Divide by program capacity 106%, design 105%.

There are concurrent and uncoordinated boundary processes at play:
1. comprehensive which has the BRAC
2, Poe as an AAP center. FCPS scoped it to include CIP projected membership which makes Poe 109% capacity utilization. That excludes the Thru/Reid/BRAC add in of 72 Poe base school students. Vote is 12/18.
3. Western HS- that should have been on scenario 4. AP comprehensive HS that includes some extra STEM POS. No magnet.
4. AAP centers at all MS - this should have been done for scenario 4 especially considering the huge volume of AAP transfers into Rocky Run and Carson. Recently R Anderson asked about the gr 6-8 at other MS. Reid stated not possible with AAP served in house at base schools.

BRAC members, added non pyramid reps, Fairfax County Fed of citizens associations I guess you have to check where each lives plus any FCPS advisory committee roles. Who benefits from what?

Failed blockade attempt on AAP in all MS [only NO vote was Meren whose South Lakes has a huge benefit from Herndon]:

The report you can read mentioned in the position paper dealt with cluster grouping, honors classes, critical mass. Completely ignored the massive numbers transferring.

Why does their political affiliation matter? I assume most people in Nova are left of center but I also don't know what that has to do with the new school.

Most people in NOVA are far left, not left of center. Very few are left of center moderates, and even fewer are Rs.
