Centerville, Chantilly, and Westfields numbers are going to change by a good amount with Western. Oakton and South Lakes will see some change, the amount will depend on if they choose to move Crossfield or Fox Mill. |
Their proposals have about 250 kids shifting from CVHS to Westfield. Taking 1000 out of Westfield and only adding in 250 would leave Westfield with less than 2000 students. Given that school's demographics, that's not enough students to offer a critical. number of advanced classes. |
Its WESTFIELD. No S. If you don't even know the names of the schools, you really don't get an opinion on who goes where. |
|
And BTW, its also CENTREVILLE.
Moron. |
The Western Maps actually show 362 Centreville HS students moving, and an additional 340 moving from Chantilly to Westfield, but those boundaries will be finalized in June. Try referencing other proposals before you start correcting others, honey. Maybe make your husband dinner before you come for me. |
PP is posting counts based on the Western High scenarios, which are pretty much the same for Chantilly in every option. Chantilly currently had 2900 students, so dropping to 2218 means they’d be opening far more than 3 seats overall. |
Chantilly would actually drop to between 2,206-2,213 students. Where does 2,218 come from? How about you check your source! |
I'm PP who posted the #s, not the person you're squabbling with. I followed the same approach which FCPS has, which is based on 2024-25 enrollment numbers. |

For those referring to Chantilly High School, the building has a design capacity of 2,316 students without the modular as per the 2026-30 CIP.
The new CIP is not publicly available yet and I don’t know what their numbers are now, but it will have more than 3 empty seats. It would have 58 empty seats as per that CIP, as it loses 691 students and gains 45. They added three new classrooms out of previous locker bays, and under the loss of students to Western and Westfield, might lose its modular and some trailers. I’m sick of the lies and distortions you parents project onto us other parents, as I am a Chantilly teacher and I know my school! |
| If Westfield has 2800 students now, and they are taking away 1000 for Western and trying to add 300 from CVHS (this will be controversial, families will not want to move from CVHS) how does that get them back up to 2400 + students? |
| PP is cherrypicking aspects of different proposals for the new school boundaries with a different goal in mind--ideal population for the Western school-- and is not concerned about what happens at Westfield, Centreville, or Chantilly. |
Some Chantilly kids would also move to Westfield under all four of the initial options presented by FCPS. Options A and B showed a net reduction of 691 to Chantilly and Options C and D showed a net reduction of 698. https://www.fcps.edu/system/files/forms/2025-10/western_high_school_options.pdf |
Or, focusing on Westfield, Options A and B showed a net reduction of 303 to Westfield and Options C and D showed a net reduction of 238 to Westfield. |
I've noticed that as well. Either they want to cherry-pick for Western or they are looking to call attention to the potential impact on other schools. |
| For those of us with students impacted immediately by these changes - I say please vote this school board out and make sure they never serve in public office again! |
