[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wonderful school! ! 5th year as a parent there. LLIV, really good teachers at all grades if not fantastic ones, diverse ethnically (~70 unique countries at international day) tremendous music/choir teacher in Ms. Lynch, pre and post school activities, active and engaged PTA, SACC wait list that actually moves.[/quote]

Good to hear this especially that the SACC wait list moves. Our neighborhood may be redistricted to Freedom Hill so feedback from current parents at the school is very helpful. [/quote]

What neighborhood do you think may be redistricted to Freedom Hill?  [/quote]

There's some talk about moving some of the Town of Vienna residents that are currently at Freedom Hill  to Vienna Elementary, and potentially redistricting some of the households that are currently outside the Town of Vienna from Vienna Elementary to Freedom Hill.[/quote]

[b]They should definitely do this, especially since they're allowing these Town residents to attend Vienna ES without having to go through the formal request process[/b]. The boundaries as-is make no sense.[/quote]

If Vienna has less than 400 students and Freedom Hill has over 600, why is that problem?[/quote]

Vienna ES is physically a smaller school. 
Town regulations do not allow trailers so there is no overflow space. 
Their renovations were done just a few years ago so they will not come up for an expansion or another reno for something like 20 years.  
With more older generations moving out and younger families moving in, the number of students that feed into Vienna El. is increasing already. It's gone from 1 K class for years and years, to 2 and now 3.

To sum, no space.

All the more reason to move students not in the Town to Freedom Hill so there is space there for Town students and the pyramids are aligned.  The current boundaries don't make sense.[/quote]
