[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you're talking about McLean HS (boundary map: http://virginia.hometownlocator.com/schools/profiles,n,mclean%20high,z,22101,t,pb,i,1118971.cfm) where they somehow managed to cut out all of Pimmit Hills but still pick up the swath of Falls Church between 29 and 7 and another chunk near Arlington?  I think they're an outlier.  Most other schools have contiguous boundaries.[/quote]

I went to McLean many years ago and I don't think the boundary has changed so I can speak on it.  That broken off section towards the bottom is the main reason that Mclean High has any income diversity at all, and as someone else said, it's mainly the Hollywood Road complex and the other one, whose name escapes me.  I can see the argument for including it since it is really just wrapping the McLean boundary around the city of Falls Church.

Pimmit Hills...that neighborhood is starting to spring up giant houses now, and while I could see why part of Pimmit Hills would go to McLean, it is right across the street from Marshall, also a good school, on the other side.  The kids aren't getting shorted going to Marshall.

The part that doesn't make sense to me is the helix looking part, the Wolf Trap kids and the part of the boundary that sends all the Rotunda kids from Tysons to McLean.  I have no idea why that is included in McLean's boundary, but it has been for at least two decades.  It seems like that area would make more sense with Marshall, Madison, or South Lakes.[/quote]
