[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm amazed no one from Westfield is raging in here[/quote]

I am reasonably certain that is why Westfield is going to end up losing so many students with limited backfill. The Centreville and Chantilly families have been very vocal about not wanting to move and Westfield has been quiet.

The people who have made the most noise got what they wanted. Crossfield is unhappy because it got what it wanted just not in a way that they wanted it. [/quote]

Well, the families who aren't being zoned out of Westfield can't really advocate for...other neighborhoods to be moved in? How would that work exactly, without sounding totally racist and classist?

It's FCPS's responsibility---that they are abdicating completely--to make fair decisions on behalf of all the schools. [/quote]

Sure they can.  South Lakes and Langley groups have been very vocal in the past about which areas they did and did not want rezoned to their schools, and they got their way in 2008 and 2021.  [/quote]

Maybe the middle class Westfield parents are not as big of obnoxious a-holes as those other groups were. [/quote]

Westfield parent. There's a lot of UMC/UC families in the our pyramid who send their kids to private schools for K-8. Many of the elementary feeder schools have had poor leadership and lackluster AAP programs and the feeder middle school is rough. FCPS probably could have won some of those families back for high school if they'd handled this differently. My younger kids will be staying at private school through HS now.[/quote]
