So there is absolutely no one objecting to Scenario B?

Part of the issue is way too many moving parts. For example: there is a need to fill Westfield. It is clear that Skyview will have an impact on this no matter which option is selected. So, there should be separate options on how to adjust from Chantilly or Centreville. Instead, we have musical chairs with elementary and middle schools included that have little to do with this need. The one thing that should be apparent is that it is ridiculous to move Lee's Corner to Westfield. Whether Crossfield goes to Skyview or stays at Oakton should have nothing to do with this decision.

Disagree. There are lots of suggested moves that make a lot less sense than this one. The logic behind moving lees corner is clear--kids have to be moved into Westfield from somewhere and Lees Corner is closer to Westfield than many other areas. That's the logic and it makes sense. Whether you like it or not is a different question.

I asked you this before and you didn't answer. Which western CVHS neighborhoods are you talking about? This is scenario 1 vs 2 (3 is the same as 2 for this area.) The striped area has so few homes. That's the Bull Run Regional park area. The closest populated area is Uniontown which would be moved from Centreville HS (8 mins away) to Westfield (14 minutes away.) Compare to Lees Corner ES, which is heavily populated, moving from being walkable/bikeable, less than 1 miles away from Chantilly to 5 miles away in heavy traffic to Westfield. If this is your sticking point, your fight to stay at CVHS should have nothing to do with Lees Corner. Lees Corner should be Chantilly HS or Skyview HS, the end.
Scenario 1:


Scenario 2 & 3:

I don't live in the area, but anyone who can use google maps can tell you are being disingenous.

I picked a random street in the "Uniontown" neighborhood-to arrive by 8 am to Westfield on a weekday, its 7.1 miles distance and estimated 14-26 minutes, in heavy traffic with commuters going up 28 north.
From "Lees Corner ES"-which is in the middle of the Lees Corner boundary, its 4.5 miles and 9-20 minutes *against* morning traffic down 50.

Of course it makes more sense to move Lees Corner rather than that area.

Lees corner is 5 minutes from Chantilly. And, with loss of Oak Hill, Chantilly won't be overcrowded...unlike Centreville.

So you agree that Lees Corner is closer to Westfield than that area of Centreville?

Well, I picked out a "random street" in Lee's Corner neighborhood. Right now it is 20 minutes --and that is in a car, not a school bus from Westfield. And, 5 minutes from Chantilly.

Which specific street?
And why won't you just answer the question asked? So you agree that Lees Corner is closer to Westfield than that area of Centreville?

You are picking out one "random street" in an area of Bull Run school. I picked out a random street of Lee's Corner. Almost all of Lee's Corner is within five minutes of Chantilly--some likely less.

Sorry, but much of Bull Run is equidistant to Westfield and Centreville. Big difference. And, again, Chantilly will no longer be overcrowded. No need. They can take those Chantilly kids who go to Cub Run. That makes sense if they need to take some from Chantilly to Westfield.
Go find another Centreville area to move.

I am an unaffected Chantilly family so familiar with this area. There is no way Lees Corner is 5 minutes to Chantilly, more like 10 minimum. Westfield maps is a 15 min ride. I too am becoming less sympathetic to your position the more you post time exaggerations like 5 min to Chantilly and 30 min to Westfield.

Great for you. It doesn’t matter if it’s 15 mins or 30. It still doesn’t make sense to move Lees Corner to Westfield and bypass Chantilly and Skyview. Dixit, McDaniel, and Meren all agree.

Look, someone has to move. It also doesn't make sense to move that area of Centreville to Westfield. But you're OK with that, right? Anyone other than your kids, right? I loathe that this process has turned into whoever throws the loudest tantrum like a little 2 year old gets whatever they want.

You don't move a neighborhood that is right next door to a school that is more than five miles away. You cannot see that?
Lobby for your neighborhood. Stay at Centreville.
Westfield will still have plenty of kids and Centreville will still be overcrowded.

Don't forget about this sweetie, https://www.fcps.edu/centreville-high-capital-project

DP. Looking at these draft scenarios, all three of the scenarios have Centreville at 86% utilization or slightly over 1800 kids after CVHS kids move to either Chantilly (Scenario 1) or Westfield (Scenarios 2 and 3). How on earth do they continue to justify a major expansion of Centreville anticipating something like this?

That's a really small HS for FCPS, especially compared to the other Concorde District schools.

Yes, they do. Saw some walking in the rain today. Frankly, it's probably faster to bus to Westfield than to walk 1.5 miles to Chantilly for some of them.

Yikes. Not safe. No one should be walking across Route 50.

Some do. And, certainly, many do for after school activities. I've seen this. And, I pass through Lee's Corner neighborhood to get to Chantilly--and it is five minutes. And, google also says it is five minutes. Right now, at rush hour.

I don't know how someone could say it is not. One of the streets close to Fairfax County Parkway takes five minutes.

DP who has no affiliation with Chantilly HS or Lees Corner ES (other than I drive by both on my way to my kids' soccer practice). Do you know where Lees Corner ES is? It is a block away from 50. It is literally walking distance to Chantilly, which is just on the other side of 50. I just mapped it on Google Maps. Right now, in rush hour it says it's a 4 minute drive. I do think with the timing of the light on Stringfellow, you might not make it through the first light cycle, so add 3 minutes for that.

Yes. There’s a huge crosswalk at Stringfellow that lots of students use in the am and pm.

What did you think was going to happen when they bought Skyview? Schools in western Fairfax, a number of which have had declining enrollments in recent years, were going to get smaller.

Kids in Pimmit Hills and nearby apartments cross Route 7 during rush hour to get to Marshall HS. Someone wanting to stay at Centreville is obviously trying to suggest it's an issue for Chantilly kids to cross Route 50 when it's far from a unique situation in the county.

The kids don't take a bus from exactly Lees Corner elementary, do they? There isn't a route through the various neighborhoods with multiple stops? Then multiple stop lights?

If you want to talk about walking to Chantilly from Lees Corner, it says 20 minutes.

Most have only one stoplight. Some may have two if they live off Lee's Corner Rd rather than Stringfellow. All live very, very close. So, no, not multiple stoplights.

Sorry to disappoint you.

And, while it may take 20 minutes to walk, it certainly is doable for kids with after school activities.

[Anonymous]

Its not really relevant TBH. The only relevant info is distance to Westfield and LC is the closest neighborhood with enough students to fill seats in any of the scenarios.

[Anonymous]

I didn't have it on my bingo card that the Skyview redistricting would turn into such nasty mud-slinging between Bull Run and Lees Corner parents. Thought the Fox Mill and Crossfield parents would hog all the bandwidth.

Guess you never know how these things will turn out. But it was always clear they'd be looking to backfill Westfield somehow.

[Anonymous]

I don't even think those are BRES parents. I think the Lees Corner poster(s) just irritated people.

[Anonymous]

Maybe they should send the whiny crossfield people to fill up westfield.
