That’s true. And I doubt the Hutchison site is any closer to Herndon than Madison is to Oakton. [/quote]

But, Herndon is not the school that most needs relief.

1. The schools that most need relief are not near the site (Chantilly, Centreville)  Neither are the neighborhoods that attend those schools. 
2. The traffic patterns are quite different from Oakton and Madison.  Traffic alone should prevent this site from being used.  There is only one artery that comes from the south.  In fact, there is only one artery period. (Elden/Centreville)  Add this to the new metro station nearby and it would be a traffic nightmare.  Every school bus and Metro bus would be lined up on Centreville Rd blocking entrances to the DTR.
3. The location is not large enough to build a high school, fields, parking, etc.  There is already a school on the site.  Adding a school, parking, stadium, practice fields, etc. would be very difficult.
