Take this with a grain of salt, but my friend who works at Gatehouse said that the redistricting plans in store for FCPS are going to be surprising to many.

I have no idea if the following is true or not, but I wanted to highlight some potential moves in the works. My source stated that some low-income schools will be moved to other low-income schools to muddy the waters on any criticism that FCPS is ONLY moving UMC kids to low-performing schools.

Potential Moves:

The entirety of Wakefield Forest ES will be moved from Frost/Woodson to Poe/Annandale. Not just those living on the east side of Wakefield Chapel Road.

Ravensworth ES will also be zoned out of LBSS to Annandale as well. To make room for this at Annandale and to supply Lewis with more students, Bren Mar Park ES and Weyanoke ES will be moved from Edison and AHS.

Willow Springs ES will be moved out of Johnson/Fairfax to Robinson. Waples Mill ES will entirely be moved into Fairfax and the Greenbriar East areas that feed into Fairfax will be moved to Oakton. Fairhill ES will also be moved into Fairfax.

Forestville ES will be moved to HMS/HHS.

Oak View ES will entirely move to Robo while Terra Centre will be switched to Lake Braddock.

Hunt Valley ES will be rezoned to Key/Lewis.

These are the major HS-related moves that will potentially occur. Keep in mind ES and MS boundaries will be tweaked to accommodate these moves.

My source could be completely wrong, so keep that in mind.

Moving the entirety of Waples Mill from Oakton HS to Fairfax HS is a bold move and will definitely meet resistance from parents. Waples Mill is in Oakton, as is most of its catchment area. It is reasonable for Oakton families to want to send their kids to Oakton HS.

no changes for McLean area? or West Springfield HS? Arent those schools bursting at the seems?

But I’m doubtful that’s the whole list because there is some work to be done between MVHS and West Potomac for sure.

Oh and Annandale too. Both HS are going to come out likely closer to the FARMS demographics of Hayfield, Fairfax, South Lakes, and other middle income areas.

Apologies if this has already been discussed. I searched and was not able to find it. Any recent updates on the Longfellow/McLean high school pyramid?

We live within walking distance to lake Braddock…I hope the Ravensworth es info is wrong.

List seems inaccurate or incomplete.

Chantilly is the most overcrowded HS, i donnt see anything related to that.

I am on the Boundary Review Committee. We haven't even started discussing any scenarios yet. We're still looking at all the comments from the community meetings.

The reality is the school board is going to make the decisions. So they may have already decided on the above and we're just "working" so it appears the community has input.

We just bought a home walking distance to Wakefield Forest Elementary and from our home to Woodson is half the distance from our home to Annandale High. If this is true, how in the world is this logical. With the current uncertainty facing federal government workforce and FCPS making unpredictable changes how can a middle class family in fed workforce make it through without a complete breakdown.

That sucks, but did you not realize the neighborhood could be rezoned to AHS? Fcps has been talking about redristrictibg for quite some time. Annandale is under capacity.

Moving Hunt Valley takes hundreds of students out of West Springfield and moves them to Lewis. Every student at Hunt Valley currently goes to WSHS.

It also makes ZERO sense to send Waples Mill to Fairfax and Greenbriar East to Oakton.

Hunt Valley here.

8 minutes door to door from the HV neighborhood to WSHS.

Agree.

Lying liar. You ain’t walking from Hunt Valley to WSHS in 8 minutes.

I think there could be something to this. Likely the leak doesn't care much about the west of FCPS.

Annandale is not under capacity. It is at 99% capacity without modulars, projected to be at 102%.
