[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starting to build in 2029?

So if my kids will graduate from Langley in 2032, 2033, 2034, should I worry about redistricting?

If you plan on staying in the same house until then, you may be affected. I don’t know how long a new build takes from approval to opening.[/quote]

Also consider how close you are to your current zoned HS. We are walking distance to ours, so there’s no way the HS would change for our kids. It might affect their friends though.[/quote]

We are GFES

[/quote]

If you’re on the edge of the pyramid boundary, you might see a change. Though people like Elaine Tholen wants to keep GF together, but since this is a county school system that may not make sense. Additionally, GF is an unincorporated area without defined boundaries. I mean, some people in Loudon Co. bordering on GF say they live in Great Falls. There is a rumor that some part of GF that was once part of the Herndon pyramid 30 years ago may land up in that pyramid again. Until a full study is done it is all speculation.[/quote]

Even if the new HS is ever built, it will be many, many years before it is built and open. If you currently have a child in elementary school, he/she will be in high school (at least!) before it opens.

It is also unlikely that GEFS would be redistricted away from Langley. It’s even unlikely that Forestville would be moved. Even with expected Tysons growth, Langley is not the school that needs capacity relief. Cooper MS also doesn’t need relief, so there is no reason to move students away from there (and even FCPS wouldn’t send students on a long bus ride in one direction for MS and then a long bus ride in the other direction for HS).

That all said, the “most” at risk part of GF (relatively and far in the future) would presumably be west of Springvale — i.e., Forestville south of Georgetown Pike and that part of the GEFS boundary north of Georgetown Pike.
