[quote=Anonymous]There are no clear guidance or standards.

Annandale HS was projected by at 125% of capacity, before the latest redistricting.   None of the other high schools are projected to be overcrowded to that extent five years from now.   FCPS projected last year that South County HS (part of a secondary school) would be at 138% of capacity by 2015, but that will change after South County MS opens.

The South Lakes redistricting in 2008 was done at Stu Gibson's behest.  The school was under-enrolled, but people knew that the enrollment would go up in a few years even without a redistricting.  Many believe the primary purpose of the redistricting was to placate people in Gibson's district in Reston assigned to South Lakes who wanted to reduce the percentage of minority and FARMS students at the school.

Redistrictings almost always result in bruised feelings.  I'd bet that the new School Board will bring in a lot of trailers before they'll start reshuffling kids again.   [/quote]
