Actually almost all of them are single feeders. The county would like to accomplish this across the board, but it's impossible due to fluctuations in student pop. The area by the silver line where the new high school is the biggest culprit. Carson splits in a bunch of places. With the new school, it would be a single feeder.


Carson splits
Thoreau splits
Jackson splits
Kilmer splits
Franklin splits

Where in the county, the desireable part of the county, do they not split?

most ES in Vienna are not split. Madison 100% or Oakton 100% or Marshall 100%.

Part of Marshall Road presently goes to Jackson (then Oakton) while most of Marshall Road goes to Thoreau/Madison. But under the rezoning, that part of MRES would go to Thoreau and then still Oakton.

Oakton ES splits currently to Thoreau/Jackson. But after the rezoning for MS, they would split only for HS (Madison/Oakton).

Not true. There are 10 ES in Vienna. Most split.

Colvin Run splits Langley/McLean
Cunningham Park splits Madison/Marshall
Marshall Road splits Madison/Oakton
Vienna splits Madison/Marshall
Westbriar splits Marshall/Madison
Wolftrap splits Madison/Marshall

Louise Archer is all Madison
Flint Hill is all Madison
Freedom Hill is all Marshall
Stenwood is all Marshall

So not "almost all"

Does anyone have any information on Huntermill Estates off Huntermill Road? We just moved from Loudoun County and purchased a home there because we needed to be closer in. It's a Vienna address but the schools are all Reston schools (Sunrise Valley ES, Hughes MS and South Lakes HS. Any chance of rezoning that boundary to maybe Madison HS or Oakton HS when the new school opens?

Very little, in my opinion. More likely would be that the western-most parts of the Oakton and South Lakes areas would shift to the new school, and the eastern-most parts will stay put.

This. Parts of Chantilly and Westfield/Herndon might also be pulled into the new school.

Apparently, facilities intends on putting a more detailed proposal in the next CIP and will have some sort of proposal comparing the cost to expanding capacity for the next 20 years or so.

It is supposedly going to do this as part of a proposal to engage in a larger boundary study in a bunch of places across the county.

Good. I hope this new superintendent actually pushes for a larger boundary study, and GASP!, maybe even looks to change the order and priority of expansions. (But I will readily admit that I'm just annoyed at how my kids will be in the only ES-MS-HS combination in the county that are ALL projected to be at or above 115% capacity in 2021, and NONE are under review/consideration for expansion in this current CIP.)

I think the plan that has been floating around is to do a large boundary study based on capacity expansions and compare it to a boundary study based on a new high school at the end of the silver line. The above schools would be involved as well as Madison, Langley, Falls Church, McLean, and Stuart.

Could be either Shrevewood-Kilmer-Marshall or Mosby Woods-Jackson-Oakton. Part of Marshall (either the Westbriar Island or part of Tysons) will probably end up at Cooper/Langley and Mosby Woods may move to Thoreau from Jackson.

Yes, it's Shrevewood-Kilmer-Marshall. Mosby Woods and Oakton are part of the current 10-year CIP plan, with Oakton already in the permitting stage. Shrevewood, Kilmer, and Marshall are not even identified as part of the 10 year CIP cycle.
