[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought McLean high school shouldn’t really get an addition because there really isn’t enough parking as is. They can’t expand the area around the school.

They should keep the school the same size and move some more of the kids out to other schools. [/quote]

Each of Justice HS and Madison HS has less acreage and parking than McLean HS and received or is receiving a permanent addition.  McLean has fewer than 2000 permanent seats now. Expanding the permanent seats to 2500 like Justice and Madison is needed to accommodate the current enrollment (around 2450). That would not foreclose future boundary changes - in particular, with all the slated development in Tysons, West Falls Church, and downtown McLean that would feed into McLean, there’s a good chance the Timber Lane island that currently attends Longfellow/McLean will get moved to Jackson/Falls Church once the FCHS renovation is finished.

They really need a multi-pronged approach given all the development.  One necessary component is a permanent addition. [/quote]

With FCHS's new renovation, it makes a lot more sense fiscally to simply adjust the boundaries of the McLean pyramid and send a little bit more of southern McLean (below 66) to Falls Church and western McLean (west of 267) to Marshall. This would certainly help to reduce the overcrowding at McLean and provide relief![/quote]

Marshall is really not an option.  It is basically at full capacity now and it stands to get even more growth from the Tysons development than McLean.

They can send Timber Lane to Falls Church (which is getting expanded to 2500 seats even though there won’t be the same growth within the Falls Church boundaries as within the McLean and Marshall areas) but they still need to build an addition to McLean.
