[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I hear enrollment at Great Falls elementary is up due to so many people with young children moving in the past year, and anecdotally several houses have gone from being owned and occupied by retirees to being bought by families with school- aged children.  Maybe the next CIP will show growth, we'll see.[/quote]

Enrollment numbers are all up in the air right now due to the pandemic, but FCPS has been under-forecasting enrollment at Langley and its feeders for a decade now (meaning, they consistently predict that there will be fewer students than there actually are.)  Not sure of the motive for this.[/quote]

Maybe they just have an inadequate forecasting model, not a “motive.”  Some of the Great Falls residents, on the other hand, do seem to have a motive when they claim that Langley taking on a growing part of Tysons would overcrowd the school (see GFCA statements) yet confidently assert there’d be no possible scenario where it would make sense to move Langley kids to Herndon when a new school opens because Langley will still be below capacity.
