[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am moving to NOVA with elementary age kids and have been trying to follow all of this but am so confused by all of this.  Do my kids have to lottery in to a school no matter what?  Or does your residence address provide you with an automatic (regardless of walkable) school pyramid elementary/middle/high pyramid and you don't have to deal with lotteries unless you want some special programming or something?  I realize this is a basic question but I am baffled.[/quote]

Any house you buy will be zoned for a neighborhood elementary school that you can go to by right. There are also option schools that you can try to lottery into if you’d rather have your kids go there instead. What’s happening right now is that the school board is considering relocating some option programs to sites that currently house neighborhood schools, which would mean those schools would stop being neighborhood schools, those students would be rezoned to other neighborhood schools, and all of the school boundaries would have to shift from there to accommodate them. It’s not clear the SB is going to do this, though, because it doesn’t actually solve any problems, it just moves them around.

So no matter where you by, you will be zoned for a school where you are guaranteed admission. But between now and 2021, which school you’re zoned to could change.[/quote]
