[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any insight into the future of redistricting for these high schools?  I live in an area that is in Madison High School's boundary, but just as close to South Lakes - off Hunter Mill Road.  And also only 4-5 miles from Oakton High School.  So really, any of those schools would be geographically close.

I know the last plan to redistrict was WWIII when they moved kids to South Lakes, but any idea if that will come again soon (next 5-10 years?)  What are the enrollment trends of the three schools?[/quote]

We were in the Madison boundry and got moved to South Lakes in the last round.  The school board is constantly rearanging the population to game the school's scores but it doesn't look like there will be any changes to the Madison/ SL boundry anytime soon.  5-10 years though is too hard to tell.

I really cringe when parents claim redistricting is just about gaming school's scores.  Sometimes there really are too many kids at one school and empty seats at another.  I do wish that the South Lakes redistricting had been fairer and involved a few more schools (will never understand how Langley got excluded from the 2008 study).  [/quote]
