[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. OP here. Oakton seems to have a rather large boundary, all the way to some areas of Herndon. Also, I read somewhere that there is a new HS planned somewhere in that area in the next few years, that might affect Oakton boundaries. Which parts of the Oakton boundary would be "safe" so our assignment wouldn't change, if we were to go Oakton?[/quote]

Just from looking at the current boundaries and knowing of the future plans, it seems like areas west of West Ox Road would be the most likely to be affected by a future redistricting.

Oakton gets redistricted more than any other school - it's a function of Madison, Oakton, Fairfax and Woodson all being close to one another, combined with the fact that all of Fairfax City has to go to Fairfax HS and all of the Town of Vienna goes to Madison (although there's no legal requirement that it do so, and part of the Town used to go to Oakton).  As a result, Oakton has a large, narrrow east-west boundary.[/quote]
