How overcrowded could McLean High School be four years from now? The proposed Capital Improvement Program for Fairfax County Public Schools has an idea.
The draft CIP says that McLean High School is currently at 118% capacity, with projections showing the population increasing to 122% capacity in the 2024-2025 school year.
While the new projections are lower than previous ones — the last CIP expected McLean High School to reach 127% capacity by 2022 — the overcrowding has sparked vigorous debate on how to get students out of the trailers.
One idea that county officials are pursuing would shift students from McLean High School to nearby Langley High School.
Langley High School has a current capacity of 83%, which is projected to drop to 78% by 2024, according to the draft CIP.
Meetings in the fall solicited community input on the proposed boundary change and are expected to continue next year.
FCPS staff have said they want to implement a decision so that the change can impact the 2020-2021 school year.
