[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At a Jan. 14 work session, School Board Member Jane Strauss called for a limited boundary study to move students from Longfellow Middle School and McLean High School to the nearby Cooper Middle School and Langley High School attendance area.

“The boundary study would primarily focus on the north end of the Tysons area where we have some older apartment buildings,” said Strauss. “These are not new high rises, but older family-friendly buildings.”

Strauss said the change would impact students currently zoned for Spring Hill Elementary School. The change would also not take place until school year 2020 to allow more discussions with parents and planning.[/quote]

Excellent news. [/quote]

The apartments that feed into Spring Hill from tysons will probably go to Langley like the rest of the Elementary school. Makes sense to me. I always wondered why it was a split feeder.[/quote]

There is one neighborhood of single-family homes in Vienna north of the Toll Road that also feeds into Spring Hill/Longfellow/McLean.  It would probably make sense to move that neighborhood to Colvin Run, which is also now a split feeder and has space, and then eliminate the split feeder at Spring Hill. [/quote]

We actually live very close to Spring Hill but zoned for a different school.

Is Spring Hill the closest school for the tysons apartments?

I was surprised to learn the tysons kids would go there since it is probably far/inconvenient.[/quote]

We're only talking about the Tysons apartments zoned to Spring Hill.  Other Tysons-area apartments are zoned for Westbriar, Westgate, or Freedom Hill.

Some of the Tysons apartments zoned to Spring Hill are somewhat closer to Westbriar and Westgate than to Spring Hill, but would require a bus to cross either Route 7 or Route 123.   The others are closer to Spring Hill.

All of the Tysons apartments zoned to Spring Hill are closer to Spring Hill than some parts of McLean and Great Falls off of Old Dominion or Georgetown Pike that are zoned to Spring Hill.

We live in the small white part within the Spring Hill zone. Wonder why we aren’t zoned for Spring Hill.[/quote]

Could be that, when they first started seriously developing the Reserve, Spring Hill was crowded and Churchill Road was not, so they did an administrative boundary change to send students there to Churchill Road. [/quote]
