[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haycock is probably the most cut throat ES in the McLean pyramid.  This was made worse last year when it was decided to grandfather out of boundary kids and not admit anymore AAP kids who are within the Lemon Road boundary.

I'm surprised no one has suggested Lemon Road and Timber Lane..the latter which feeds to McLean.

I'm also surprised that OP is "priced out" of North Arlington, but is still considering McLean.  Both areas have similar housing costs.[/quote]

Both Lemon Road and Timber Lane are split feeders - meaning that some students go to one Middle School and High School and other go to a different Middle School and High School.  However, the Timber Lane students are most at risk of changes to their MS and HS boundary as they are basically an Island with Falls Church Schoolsbeteeen them and the rest of the MS and HS population.  The school board has shown a tendency to eliminate islands and peninsulas as the first part of proposed boundary changes.  Lemon Road's Longfellow and McLean HS population is quite small as compared to the Kilmer/Marshall population.  Lemon Road is currently under utilized - it is at high risk of another boundary expansion.  Based on current enrollment overages, it should come from the McLean side, but the Freedom Hill folks probably want to dump the other half of their high needs population on them.  [/quote]

It makes more sense for Lemon Road's boundary expansion to come from Falls Church (Haycock) to alleviate overcrowding there since Lemon Road is in Falls Church.

Of course, those that bought into Haycock and would be affected will be sharpening the pitchforks and soaking the torches if it comes to that.[/quote]
