[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The boundary for Rolling Valley was extended to pick up single-family neighborhoods south of the Fairfax County Parkway during school board hearings when South County HS boundaries were being formed. See the FCPS boundary map.

Yes but she is talking about Hunt Valley.

Almost all of the Hunt Valley homes along that part of the parkway are town houses. There are very few single family homes until you get to Gambrill.[/quote]

Pretty much all of the single family homes off of Gambrill Road went to Lee. Plus some other single family homes that are directly off the Parkway/Hooes (such as Medford Leas). I believe only a couple of townhouse neighborhoods, like Westwater Point, went to Hunt Valley and then Lee. I don't believe Olde Oak Ridge (townhouses on the north/west side of the Parkway) went to Lee.

So there were lots of HV single family homes moved from Lee to West Springfield. And seeing that at the time HV was only 9% F/R lunch and Lee was 27% F/R lunch, the loss of of those HV students and some of the students who were switched to South County caused the F/R lunch rate at Lee to go up rapidly, never to come down again.
