That odd line will likely be redrawn yet again.
Yes, there were definitely some connected people who kept that pocket at GBW. I think buying an entire neighborhood away and expecting your base school to remain the same is not too bright. I think a one block radius is pretty much the only safe bet with as much as boundaries get shifted in this part of the county. |

| Neighborhood boundaries can be redrawn, too. There is no reason to think that AAP Center boundaries can be changed but neighborhood boundaries can't. They are all just somewhat arbitrary assignments made by FCPS. |

Oh, I doubt that anyone is finagling to be zoned for Greenbrier West over any of the other perfectly nice schools in the area. Please. The odd in-fill developments have to be zoned somewhere. With all the boundary changes, your best bet is to move to a house in the "walk zone" of the school. I'm sure there are some homes available in Greenbrier, if you are so desperate to stay at GBW. I actually pulled up the boundary map and the zone is contiguous, so I have no idea what your beef is. (Just that you want what you want when and how you want it...) http://www.fcps.edu/images/boundarymaps/greenbriarwestes.pdf |

| Stringfellow is supposed to divide the gbw and poplar tree zones. The map speaks for itself. |

Exactly what I was trying to say above. If you are within a couple block radius of the building, your chances of staying zoned to that school are pretty good. Boundaries are redrawn all the time. I'm really trying to figure out what people's beef is with moving this program to Poplar Tree ES. |

The map shows a GBW area on the other side of Stringfellow-so what? There are lots of school zones that cross busier roads. I don't see your point, honestly. |

It is odd that that small part of that area REMAINED GBW when a redistrict was done just a couple years ago. That side of the stringfellow was mostly redistricted...of course, then a lot of those kids came back as AAP students and left Poplar Tree underenrolled while GBW is beyond stuffed. They really need to rethink this center system. Once a school reaches a certain enrollment, they should be able to say "no more" In district kids have priority - special programs can be told there is no room. And why parents are OK with their kids being completely overstuffed in a school is beyond me. |
