[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Langley HS is at 102% of its capacity with the new boundary adjustment. The demographic projections have it at 107% of capacity in five years.  Therefore boundaries are highly to change when reexamined in 2031.

Unless your children are currently in 5th grade or higher, I would not purchase a Forestville ES house unless you are comfortable with Herndon MS and HS.  If you are worried about the value going down, I probably would not purchase a Forestville ES house anyway since the value will likely go down when it is rezoned to Herndon in five years. [/quote]

I'm not aware of any published demographic projections that put Langley at 107% capacity in five years.

Based on the most recent program capacity for Langley (2323), 107% capacity is 2486 students.

Current enrollment is 2175 students.  The elimination of the Spring Hill feeder is estimated to add 200 students to Langley.  That takes you to 2375.  However, Langley has 94 transfers this year, including 84 pursuant to the student transfer regulation (i.e., for AP or foreign language).  Langley can shut down pupil placements and regain those seats, which takes you down to 2291.  There would need to be substantial growth in the Spring Hill area that's not offset by fewer students in other parts of the catchment area to even get to 105% capacity (2439 students).  Could that happen?  Possibly.  It is a certainty or even "highly likely" within five years?  Probably not.

And, again, there's no consistency in the School Board's processes.  The next School Board could redistrict a school under 105% capacity if it wanted to based on transportation considerations.  On the other hand, West Springfield was sitting at 114% capacity this year, well over the purported 105% threshold for redistricting, and they did not redistrict a single neighborhood out of WSHS.
