[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't think the Dunn Loring school is as much of a political issue as you think it is. People can deal with rezoning, they don't want to deal with someone who is going to limit our children's rights.[/quote]

Building a new school to address overcrowding is a good thing.[/quote]

It is.

Unfortunately, Frisch is getting a new school built that’s surrounded by schools that are well under capacity. The growth is elsewhere. It’s a huge waste of money. [/quote]

This. Shrevewood overcrowding could have been fixed with a simple boundary adjustment to Stenwood and Freedom Hill. [/quote]

Shrevewood’s overcrowding has been fixed.

Vote Frisch out!!  The guy is scum.[/quote]

The overcrowding is temporarily fixed. The numbers will increase as the Covid classes transition out of ES. Are new families choosing private? I don’t think so. [/quote]

If you look at the membership numbers for Shrevewood, the current second grade class is the largest at 116, followed by sixth grade at 104 and then first grade at 93.

I think the current principal solved the overcrowding issue due to the Level IV cluster model. You can see the increased numbers at Lemon Road. [/quote]

It was a brilliant move, frankly. He got rid of problem parents and overcrowding at the same time, LOL![/quote]

You must not know the importance of test scores if you believe the issues is solved. [/quote]

+1 It is likely test scores will go down and FARMS numbers will increase as a specific demographic leaves after 2nd grade. Long term, there is the potential for home values to decrease. It’s not “lol” as a PP stated. [/quote]

You don’t have kids at the school. [/quote]

You’re right, but I did. I now have a kid at Marshall, and I care able the value of my home. Don’t you?[/quote]

I have kids at Kilmer and Marshall now, and am not concerned. When we started at Shrevewood, the AAP center was at Haycock, and Shrevewood lost those kids. Now they go to Lemon Road. But they first needed to attend Shrevewood to gain access to those programs. Furthermore, our neighborhood continues to get more and more popular with private school families. [/quote]

Comparatively speaking, with all the development in Falls Church City and planned near the WFC Metro, the Shrevewood ES district - which is close to  the development (and Mosaic) but not directly affected by it - should just become a more attractive area to live.  That won’t change if test scores go down a bit due to more families sending their kids to Lemon Road.

But the enrollment trends are down, so it’s not like building a new school in Dunn Loring is a necessary solution to anything happening now at Shrevewood. If there is any need to build a new ES in that general area, it is in Tysons, or they could have looked to reopen Pimmit Hills ES.  If they reopened Pimmit Hills that would position Westgate to serve more of Tysons and allow Lemon Road to serve more of Haycock as the area near the WFC Metro gets developed.  But Dunn Loring remains an unnecessary waste of taxpayer money, courtesy of Frisch. [/quote]
