[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that re zoning is expected in 2019 in S. Arlington due to the new elementary school. Does anyone know that if you kid goes to one of the schools effected will they be moved to another elementary school that year or would the re-zoning only impact incoming students or students that voluntarily move?

Sorry if this has been asked before. [/quote]

Hi,

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am.new to this board because we may be moving to the area.  Where will the new school be? Which elementary schools are likely to be effected? I would hate to have us move into a new house/school only to make my poor kids move again 2 years later![/quote]

Additional re-districting will happen again in another few years; so it's really not so simple to give you an answer that guarantees you won't be impacted the next time around even if you avoid it this time.  Unless you move really close (like spitting distance) to a neighborhood school that is guaranteed not to be switched to an option school in upcoming years, there's still a chance you'll be impacted by new boundaries.  Fleet opens at Thomas Jefferson site next year.  Reed will open in Westover in another few years.  Some option programs might get relocated, which affects neighborhood schools.[/quote]

+1  Buy the house you like and don't worry too much about the schools.  If your kids do have to move, they won't be the only ones.  If it's that important to you that they never get redistricted then you should rent so you can easily switch homes to stay in the school zone you want.[/quote]
