[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know the western part of the county as well as the southeastern, but when South County opened the ensuing boundary changes left Lee (Lewis) with a high-poverty population. Is there a risk that this could happen to a school like Westfield?[/quote]

I moved here right after South County opened, and didn’t have kids in FCPS yet. But I always thought SC took almost all of its students from Hayfield, which was bursting at the seams at the time? I can’t imagine commuting to Lewis from Lorton. What elementary(ies?) were zoned to Lee at the time that ended up at SC, or were these secondary moves to put kids into Hayfield when they lost students to SC?[/quote]

Newington Forest previously split between Lee and Hayfield.  When South County opened all of Newington Forest went to South County.  In the same boundary study, Hunt Valley, which had split between West Springfield and Lee, was all sent to West Springfield.[/quote]

I knew that about the Hunt Valley split feeder but didn’t realize some of Newington Forest was at Lee as well. That’s a brutal drive.[/quote]

Gambrill to the Parkway, not really that brutal. But yes, SC is the right school for those neighborhoods.[/quote]

lol what? Gambrill drive to Lewis is terrible. Now go ahead and google map it with no traffic etc and blablabla. It’s an awful drive for a school commute. [/quote]

A whopping 5.6 miles from Gambrill and Pohick. Hardly an epic drive. Funny thing is back in the really old days those kids at that end of Gambrill had to take Hooes Road to Lee. No parkway.[/quote]

It would be 45-50 minutes on the school bus, minimum,  for the early stops.[/quote]
