We considered Shouse Village when we were looking, but it's a school attendance island -- look at the boundary maps. The bus ride to Longfellow was long, and other less desirable schools were nearer geographically. We were worried about possible redistricting away from Longfellow/McLean so shied away from it.[/quote]

Not sure what schools you're talking about.  The other middle/high school combinations serving nearby areas are Cooper/Langley, Kilmer/Marshall and Hughes/South Lakes.  FCPS has suggested in its latest Capital Improvement Plan it might consider moving the part of Colvin Run that feeds into Longfellow/McLean to Cooper/Langley, but that was based on projections (as to future declines in the Cooper/Langley enrollments and increases in the Longfellow/McLean enrollments) that people who live in the Cooper/Langley district recently asserted were flawed.

Without clear indications of significant overcrowding at Longfellow/McLean due to Tysons growth, I doubt FCPS would change the Shouse Village boundaries.  The SV area is part of an attendance island (created when FCPS administratively assigned a new apartment complex in Tysons to Kilmer/Marshall years ago), but kids from that area are actively involved in Longfellow/McLean activities, and I think Longfellow/McLean parents would object if the School Board grabbed additional SFH neighborhoods for Langley without a compelling reason to do so.   As for Kilmer/Marshall and Hughes/South Lakes, those schools have growing enrollments, so it's hard to see why FCPS would move SV students to those schools.  [/quote]

It's very clear that this island will become part of Marshall, South Lakes, or Langley in the near future.  Not saying that this change is a bad thing, but ll one needs to do is simply look at a map.  It logistically makes sense for FCPS.[/quote]
