Chantilly has Greenbriar East which is a split feeder…and it’s a big school. They are going to need to move someone out of Chantilly to accommodate those kids, or plan to do something with Poplar Tree’s boundary where some will now head to Powell and then Centreville.

Pretty sure that Greenbriar East is already included in the projections. Do you mean that they need to eliminate the split feeder? Where do the other kids go? Can't be that many?

Fairfax.

Well, if they start shifting, they will necessarily create split feeders elsewhere.

But, again, the freshman class currently at Chantilly is significantly smaller than the others. Someone posted that Rocky Run's enrollment is also smaller. So, Chantilly may just work itself out. No one wants to leave.

They won’t create more splits. They would shift the boundary so kids currently at an elementary will go elsewhere. All of Greenbriar east will now go to Chantilly.

Poplar tree is the furthest south and close to cvhs.

Are you even familiar with the area? A not insignificant portion of Poplar Tree walks to Rocky Run and Chantilly. I can't see them starting a bus run elsewhere for those kids, or keeping those kids where they are and creating a new split feeder...

Every single neighborhood in Chantilly boundary is closer to Chantilly than any other high school. The only ones that might be closer to another school are some who live in Poplar Tree boundary. They are pretty close to Centreville.

NO. No one knows anything and this entire thread is speculative. There are a few posters who seem to love getting everyone riled up with their hypotheticals, but they don't know anything more than the rest of us. Best to just ignore them.

Are you including the Langley posters who keep coming up with hypotheticals to move anyone but Langley kids into Herndon? They’ve been quite active here.

I'm including anyone and everyone who keeps throwing out hypotheticals of any kind - to include all of the posters who don't even have kids at Langley but feel entitled to opine about where those kids should be moved.

It won’t be a split feeder. They will adjust boundaries near the 66 overpass/fairfax connector bus stop/poplar tree park to have those kids attend Powell. Powell then feeds CVHS.

What you want doesn’t matter.

DP. Which school do your kids attend?

And, a majority of the apartments in fair lakes are closer to Chantilly, but they go to Fairfax. Proximity isn’t always what matters. I could see a shift of those apartments to poplar tree and then the single family homes near the overpass northbourne heading to Powell.

I pay taxes. Let me know when Fairfax decides to stop having DINkS pay for your sh*t and I’ll drop out of the convo.

With this school board? Possibly. But, again, Chantilly's enrollment will be decreasing. It does not make sense. But roads matter, too. I don't see shifting the apartments.

The townhomes right near the apartments already go to greenbriar west. If anything, they'd move the apartments there.

Tell your neighbors to pipe down then. There’s no group that spends more time trying to map out boundary changes that would move kids at other schools, but not their schools, than Langley parents.

Seems like a lot of effort to create a situation where there will be plenty of space in most schools in 5 years. Just work to put the right resources where they are needed.

But I get it boundary changes get everyone distracted from the real issues.

We’re going to see this reflected in the upcoming CIP projections for Langley, Cooper, and McLean. It’s going to make it really hard to do the big moves that some people on this forum are looking for.

They’ll still be projecting a big disparity between Lewis and West Springfield in terms of enrollment, so if they do decide to address that they’ll be left with a political dilemma if they were to move WSHS who live close to that school to Lewis but leave kids much closer to Herndon at Langley.

As noted earlier in the thread, they could always pull back, clean up some ES islands and split feeders with minimal changes to MS/HS assignments, and declare victory.

+1
In addition to doing whatever is necessary to improve the schools where test scores are lagging. Importing UMC kids as a bandaid will do nothing.

It will cover up the problems. Sad. The job of the school system is to educate.
i've posted before that I taught impoverished students. I cannot imagine thinking that bringing in wealthy kids would improve the way I taught these kids.
Again, not once have I heard the School Board discuss how to improve instruction for struggling students. Not once.

A lot of the materials related to the strategic plan focus on improving instruction for struggling students. There are annual presentations to the School Board on the progress towards meeting each goal in the strategic plan.

F off. No one in the Langley pyramid wants ANY kids moved. We just want you to stop pushing to move our kids when there is no justification for it.

You’re obsessed with Langley for some reason. Get over it.

No justification 🤣🤣🤣did you forget the part where there is a highschool 3 miles away instead of 12. You just don't like the justifications. That doesn't mean they don't exist.

Like you speak for the entire Langley pyramid, lol.

Sadly, while you may say you don't want any kids moved, you or your fellow LHS parents spend half your time coming up with fallback positions to try and make sure that, if any kids are moved, they are other kids and not yours. And then trying to promote those alternatives - like pushing Chantilly kids into Westfield and Westfield kids into Herndon - here.

Cut it out or expect to get called out.

Curious. What makes you think that was a Langley parent? There are parents trying to push out Chantilly neighborhoods so they can get their neighborhoods into Chantilly.

Chantilly's enrollment looks to be dropping. So, Chantilly is fine with the current boundary.
