[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who can read a map can tell that almost all the Chantilly HS zoned elementary neighborhoods are much closer in distance to Westfield than any of the areas currently zoned to Centreville. Westfield HS is in Chantilly.

If FCPS is prioritizing distance in miles to fill seats, Chantilly areas should be moved over to Westfield and Oakton areas should be shifted west to Chantilly and Skyview.

Of course, they have 17 different priorities that they won't rank in any sort of order, so we have no idea what their "real priorities" are.

Reassigning anything at Chantilly to Westfield that isn’t already a split feeder results in disjointed boundaries.  We really need to move part of Centreville to Westfield and then scale back this ridiculous expansion of Centreville to free up funds for other school renovations or expansions.

Forget about reading a map, no one with a functioning brain thinks we should be building Centreville out to 3000 seats.  It would just be the height of insanity and waste of taxpayer money. [/quote]

What's more important, distance in miles to the school building or the shape of the boundary? Who cares if the boundaries are "disjointed" if the closest areas are sent to the closest buildings?

Oh wait, is this the Chantilly mom who thinks high schoolers need to be able to continuously walk through an entire high school's boundaries? She's a hoot. I hope she posts more of her crazy ideas.[/quote]

The shape of the boundary can tell you quite a bit about whether a school will have a strong sense of community.  Reassigning a small pocket of Chantilly north of 50 to Westfield doesn’t make a lot of sense when there’s an effort underway to move Westfield neighborhoods north of 50 to Skyview and [b]one of the stated goals is to reduce overcrowding at Centreville.[/b] [/quote]

Isn't Chantilly HS currently much more overcrowded than Centreville? [/quote]

Yes. Centreville is 104% over.   
Chantilly is 110% over.
Oakton is 103% over.

The last consultants were told to ignore anything below 105% over capacity as part of normal population fluctuations, IIRC.[/quote]
