[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just make sure you don't buy in the Herndon area currently zoned to Langley, or Dranesville or pretty much any area zoned to Forestville Elementary if you want to be safe.  Otherwise your kindergartner and possibly your 5th grader will be going to Herndon and not Langley one day.[/quote]

According to the proposed boundary maps - all options leave GF alone. There a few Great Falls areas already zone to Herndon High and a few Herndon/Reston areas zoned to Langley.

What parts of Great Falls are already zoned to Herndon?  I don't see any.  Dranesville isn't Great Falls.  It's adjacent, but a separate location.
  
So yeah, the current changes leave GF and Dranesville and the other Herndon addresses that currently go to Langley alone.  However it also moves more students into Langley from McLean and puts Langley over 100%.  It's a desirable area, and that percentage won't go down no matter how much some people seem to convince themselves it will.  As Tysons and the surrounding area grows there will be more pressure to reassign the far western part of the Langley boundary to the much closer Herndon High School.  I was just trying to warn the OP who is thinking of moving here specifically for Langley that this is an issue they need to take into account, especially with a kindergartner who won't be in high school until after at least one more boundary review cycle.[/quote]
