[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should move at least a portion of Tysons to Langley.[/quote]

Agreed. The McLean attendance islands along Route 7 west of Tysons should be the most obvious to move to Langley.

On a side note, I am a Shrevewood parent and am thrilled to see that a boundary review and adjustment FINALLY made it into the CIP. We've been bursting at the seams for the past few years, and the current sixth grade is the last of the "smaller" class sizes.[/quote]

Where do you think part of Shrevewood will move?  It seems like Stenwood, Freedom Hill or Lemon Road would make the most sense, if there is space.   [/quote]

I think Stenwood is the most logical, based on boundaries. All the apartments and condos at/near Dunn Loring are zoned for Shrevewood, although the kids could easily walk to Stenwood which is just down Gallows Road. Timber Lane is also close, esp. for the Fairwood Park neighborhood, but then that's a whole new pyramid so I imagine that's a much trickier move. [/quote]

First, not all the condos/apts go to Shrevewood.  There is a small pockets of condos/townhomes, directly across from the metro (Park Tower - Bellforest Ct) that go to Stenwood.

Seoncd, I have 2 kids at Stenwood and we are a small school.  The school was renovated in 2012 and we have 2 trailers.   I don't know if we could handle a huge contingent from Shrevewood at Stenwood.  According to FCPS we are at 97% capacity.    Adding the additional kids from the other apartment/condos on Gallows would probably add over 150+ more kids to the enrollment numbers.

My DC 2nd grade class has over 100 kids divided over  4 classes.   Yes, a fair number of the 2nd graders will move to Westbrair, our center school, but I suspect a lot may stay as they have really been trying to build up their local level IV program.  My DC 5th grade class has 30 and we have 3 classes in all.   [/quote]
