[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have also heard a lot of talk about how there should be a high school built in Western Fairfax County and yet nothing happens on that front. Though if they were to built such a school, where would it be built?[/quote]

The county had an ideal location picked out right next to Rachel Carson Middle School about 10 years ago.  All the rich Great Falls people threw a fit because they new a new HS would mean a boundary change, so their kids would have to start going to high school with "the poors" from Herndon instead of Langley.  When they got the plan killed the county sold off the land to Saudi Arabia who built King Abdulla Academy there instead.  
Can't blame it 100% on the Great Falls parents.  There are a lot of people who bought too close to a boundary line and fight tooth and nail any boundary reviews because they are afraid their property values would go down.  That's how we ended up with giant mega-schools where the kids are packed so tight they can't navigate the hallways between classes and you kid has to be a D1 prospect to make the varsity sports teams.[/quote]

What a totally bizarre, unhinged rant.  That school site had nothing to do with Great Falls or Langley.  Do you just insert them into every post because you have issues?[/quote]
