I thought about that too, but part of that is also the bus situation.

If you are only moving the Dunn Loring apartments to Stenwood, but leaving the rest of the area west of the Beltway to Shrevewood, then that probably requires another bus route.

Same problem applies when you move the golf course/Hyson Ln. houses and townhouses to Timber Lane, but leave the apartment buildings next to the cemetery as a feeder to Shrevewood.

The Westwood Park/Poplar Heights neighborhood between Shrevewood and Timber Lane is already split, and even if you move the boundary a bit (Tower St.) that is probably just a handful of kids.  You can't really take Allan or those parts of Fairwood since they literally border the Shrevewood property.

The Whole Foods area is possible because it is already split up.  The taller towers (Eaves/Idylwood) currently go to Shrevewood, and the garden apartments behind Whole Foods are split between Lemon Road and Freedom Hill.

I should correct myself on the 2nd point.  The area between the golf course and cemetery is already split up.  So, we see in a couple of cases, there and near Whole Foods, where FCPS has already split up the high-density/lower-income locations between a couple of schools.  Without wholesale changes, I don't see them changing that to have those neighborhoods go to one school.[/quote]

Oh, I didn't realize the Los Pueblos Way apartments go to a different school. My child's bus drives down Pimmit Drive and I just assumed it picked up all of the kids in that area - the Idylwood condos, the big apartment building, the large homes, and the apartments off of Los Pueblos.  That's silly that the kids on one side of the street would go to a different school than the kids across the street![/quote]

Happens all the time with larger streets.  Breaking up the multi-family housing in Tysons/Pimmit among Freedom Hill, Lemon Road and Shrevewood is a good thing. [/quote]
