[quote=Anonymous][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.  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.

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]

"young couple with a baby or is currently pregnant - and no plans of moving"  haha get back to me when they look at public schools, most will high tail outta there.[/quote]

Obviously they haven't been. Not at Oakrige. Not in my neighborhood. Most SFH owners were ok with the status quo. We are not ok with the changes that are happening around us. Many people were confident their kids would get a good education before. We are concerned with an overburdened system, and no apparent planning.[/quote]
