What are the odds of a close proximity home/school being re-zoned to a much farther?

I know there is a comprehensive FCPS study under way but I cannot find current proposals (formal or informal) or options for re-zoning online.
What are truly the odds of a home close to its current school pyramid being re-zoned to a far school pyramid? The specific example is homes in Chesterbook Meadows are 1 mile from Mantua Elementary and 2.2 miles from Frost Middle and 2 miles from Woodson High. Does FCPS re-zone boundaries so drastically that the schools could be re-zoned to Falls Church High School 3.5 miles away? |

| 3.5 miles is drastic? For high school? That is not in touch with the realities of Fairfax County. |

Ok, so that's one vote for: they could do this easily. |

True! Never lived in Fairfax County this far west of DC. Gulp. |

| Falls Church High is getting an expansion. I don’t think you are in the clear at all, though proximity increases the odds that your children and family won’t get screwed over. |

3.5 miles vs. 2 miles is far from drastic.

Ok it's not drastic- I shouldn't have used that word. I just looked at a map and it doesn't make sense, that's all. I was more so wondering if they do re-zoning on the margins or more aggressive re-zoning. |

Makes sense, thank you |
