[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Timberlane is less than a mile away and is under capacity.[/quote]

Timberlane is a different pyramid from Shrevewood (split feed to McLean and Falls Church HS) so I don't see that as an option for this upcoming rezoning. That's more likely to occur in a county-wide rezoning effort.

I agree with the above poster. I expect some of Shrevewood will be moved to Stenwood (I'm looking specifically at the condos/apartments/THs near Dunn Loring/Merrifield that are now zoned to Stenwood). And then some of Stenwood would likely need to shift to Freedom Hill to keep Stenwood from becoming overcrowded. [/quote]

They could make Timber Lane a split feeder to Marshall and Falls Church (it's closer to Marshall than to McLean) and move part of Shrevewood there, and then move more of Westgate or Lemon Road from Marshall to McLean.  But the more likely and easier scenario is moving part of Shrevewood to Stenwood and, if needed, part of Stenwood to Freedom Hill.

I wonder if there's a Stenwood poster who keeps raising the Timber Lane option because she doesn't want Shrevewood kids moved to Stenwood.  [/quote]

I'm the one who posted about Timberlane, and I don't have an ulterior motive, I just mentioned it based on location and I think according to the CIP, it's has more available capacity than some of the other nearby schools - although I think most of the nearby schools are under capacity.  I have always thought it was weird that the condos and apartments by the Dunn Loring metro are zoned to Shrevewood and not Stenwood or Freedom Hill.  Does anyone know why?  Is it just that none of that was there when the zoning was done?

For what it's worth, I think we live physically closer to Lemon Lane than anywhere else.  It's also weird that the apartments near Whole Foods are zoned to Shrevewood while the townhouses literally next door next to Marshall High School are zoned to Lemon Lane.  It almost seems like there was a conscious decision to zone all the local apartment buildings to Shrevewood.[/quote]
