[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it looks like West Potomac is heading toward a boundary change. Both Mount Vernon and Hayfield are severely under-enrolled and can absorb the overcapacity at West Potomac.[/quote]

That would be a good idea. FCPS should move part of West Springfield to Lee as well.  If it was OK to move neighborhoods on the other side of both 495 and 95 from Annandale to Edison a few years ago, it surely ought to be OK to move part of West Springfield to Lee.   [/quote]

Yup. I could easily see moving Fort Hunt or Waynewood to Mount Vernon and Groveton to Hayfield as a solution. I could also see moving more of South County like Mason Neck and parts of Lorton back to Hayfield. That would give south county room to absorb from Lake Braddock and Robinson, which in turn could take on some of the over capacity at Woodson. Moving parts of Annandale back would likely help Woodson as well.

And yes, I can definitely see more of West Springfield being moved to Lee. Daventry already is zoned there, so it wouldn't be mind blowing to move a few other elementary schools into that pyramid.

Didn't daventry just get rezoned to West Springfield a couple years ago?  I thought the parents threw a huge fit that their kids went to Irving and then to Lee, and petitioned to get to go to WSHS.  (The more logical thing to do would be to send them to Key/Lee since both are underenrolled, but whatever)[/quote]

Nope. They are zoned for Lee and key now.[/quote]
