Proposed Boundary Impacts to FCHS
FCPS has been working through a multi-year boundary assessment for the county schools, working to balance capacity, and remove attendance islands and split feeder schools. The most recent superintendent’s proposed boundary recommendations and executive summary have been added to the FCPS website. You will see that FCHS will receive additional geography in our boundary that is currently attending Justice High School. The data listed in the presentation includes capacity that references FCHS as over capacity with these changes. These are calculated off of our old building's capacity and Dr. Nowak has assured us that even with these additional students, we will be under capacity. We will be working to communicate the specific numbers shortly.
