[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live between Glebe and George Mason - currently zoned for Barcroft. Although I do not have school aged children now, we will in the next few years.

I think the county is forgetting to consider the huge turn around of SFH in that area- and the number of children who will be coming from those neighborhoods in addition to the apartments.  [b]Of our old retired neighbors who have moved out in the past few years - every single one was replaced with a young couple with a baby or is currently pregnant - and no plans of moving. [/b]

Although I have noticed a few families moving into the new Glebe townhomes with babies- my husband believes most will move to single family homes before the children are school aged ( similar to what happened in cameron station in alexandria- they built a new ES thinking those homes would need a local school, but most families moved before their kids were that old.)

I agree that most of the high end apartments at Pike 3400 and potentially near food star will be young single/newly married couples without kids in school. [/quote]

This is what happened at Oakridge, which in addition to being overcrowded as a percentage of building capacity is also the largest elementary school in the county in raw numbers.  They are projected to have 800+ kids by 2018.  It's ridiculous.[/quote]
