Get a job at Chantilly and pupil place. Otherwise, you can't transfer your kid. I'm wondering if some of the transfers are to the CSS at Chantilly, though. Westfield doesn't have a HS CSS. As for the wealth disparity, Chantilly is a wealthier school with a lower % of FARMS students due to the last boundary adjustment.

Chantilly is a well run school. I think the fact that the boundary is compact helps. That's one reason no one wants to be reassigned. There is a sense of community.
Westfield is far more spread out. And, Coates should really go to Herndon if proximity is considered.

The flip side of considering proximity is considering distance.

Careful now, you’ll get Hunt Valley parents upset with this thinking.

If Coates doesn’t go to Herndon then it will just emphasize how big of a scam all their reasonings for boundary changes are and that they will do what they want. Herndon is just as close if not closer than Westfield for Coates students. And there is more than enough space to shift. But it would increase farms not decrease so who knows what they do with it.

They could decide that reducing the commuting distance of at least some Forestville students to Langley by moving them to Herndon makes more sense than loading up Herndon with more FARMS kids from Coates.

Some posters are quick to point to the capacity constraints at Herndon MS, but HMS doesn’t get any bigger depending on whether kids from Cooper or Carson are reassigned there.

I don’t follow your last point.

I get that parts of zones forestville are close to HHS but most are not. HMS is 2-3x as far from most forestville homes than it is from Coates. Coates already split feeds there. We all know farms rates and ELL are what’s pushing this agenda but they won’t admit it. And moving kids who are much farther just to push numbers down isn’t right but fits their agenda

But they might not simply look at whether Coates is closer to Herndon MS/HS. They could also look at how far kids at Forestville are traveling to Cooper and Langley.

Of course, they could also look at the new projections in the draft CIP and conclude that, with enrollments projected to decline over the next five years, this really isn’t the time to be making unnecessary boundary changes. But they may not be capable of exercising that restraint.

I don’t follow your last point.

Typically, when the issue of moving part of Langley to Herndon comes up, a Langley poster notes that, while Herndon HS may now have hundreds of empty seats, Herndon MS has less surplus capacity. The argument is that this constraint should limit moving anyone into the Herndon pyramid, especially if further growth could occur in the Town of Herndon in the future.

Now we have someone arguing to move Coates ES from Carson/Westfield to Herndon/Herndon. That raises the same issue about Herndon MS’s capacity constraints as moving kids at Forestville from Cooper to Herndon MS would raise.

That's good news. Link? Also change MV to AP and have some fine tech courses. Massive transfer out to Hayfield. Edison is loaded and gets IB transfrs - is that Global Stem? Lewis in bounds aren.t heading to West Springfield.

But forestville/cooper/Langley are not overcrowded. Coates is. And part of it already goes to Herndon. Where else would they put Coates? To Carson/westfield? So those kids are traveling further and what does it do to Carson and Westfield capacities. It just seems like the same argument. People who are zoned to the schools no one wants to be at wants to continue to pupil place out and push people who are not at overcrowded good schools in

Got it. Shouldn’t move anyone because HMS can’t accommodate them, and otherwise they just be making a new split feeder.

The HHS buildout, not coupled with a HMS buildout was classic FCPS lack of planning.

I’m not the one who proposed moving kids. You or someone else did.

They will look at the Coates boundaries independently of the countywide study. That could involve move some Coates kids into other Herndon or Westfield feeders.

However, just as they might move Coates (most of which now feeds to Carson/Westfield) in its entirety to Herndon, so too might they move some or all of Forestville to Herndon, as it’s closer to Herndon than Langley and they might decide to move some closer-in areas in Tysons to Langley.

These are all possibilities, as is doing nothing other than moving part of Coates to other ES.

Indeed, particularly since they’ve now touted eliminating split feeders as a goal. We have a lot of split feeders precisely because of school locations and because MS and HS capacities often are misaligned. FCPS planning is truly atrocious and multiple School Boards have dropped the ball when it comes to oversight. Reid herself is a relative newcomer who appears to have no handle on these types of issues.

They can’t move all of Coates to Herndon. It has nearly 1000 students and most are zoned to Westfield. Newly expanded Herndon ES will likely pick up the Coates students already zoned to Herndon so that it no longer splits between the two pyramids.

They are projecting McNair and Floris will have some extra capacity as well.

The language transfers need to stop. Either every school needs to offer the same two basic languages or the other languages can be offered online only.

Ok. Then you agree that AAP centers and the free busing to them needs to end too. Right?
