[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which neighborhoods in WSHS boundaries were zoned for other schools? I live near Hunt Valley ES- I can see it from my house.  I can’t imagine that SoCo or Lewis would be closer than WS for me. [/quote]

It is not.

But the part of HV along Gambrill was zoned for Lewis many decades ago before South County HS was built.  When SoCo opened, there was a huge rezoning of many areas.  The Gambrill neighborhood was rezoned for WSHS and the HV split feeder was eliminated.  That was around 2 decades ago, but there is a person who regularly posts on this forum who is still very upset about it, constantly posting that Hunt Valley should return to split feeder status and be rezoned to Lewis, passing several elementary schools much closer to Lewis, and far out Saratoga, which abuts to South County, should be rezoned from Lewis to WSHS to replace Hunt Valley neighborhoods.

None of those suggestions make sense, but the person upset about WSHS and HV posts it repeatedly and has for years.[/quote]

Really, if any WSHS neighborhoods were to be rezoned to Lewis, it should be a reversal of the recent Daventry rezoning from then Lee to WSHS.

That was done as a back door deal without following proper rezoning policies, using false data that incorrectly showed that fewer than 10 kids per grade would be affected.

The flawed data did not include kids attending Catholic schools, nor did it accurately count kids in lower grades who would eventually become WSHS students.

Daventry is the closest geographically to Lewis of all WSHS zoned neighborhoods, and the rezoning was fairly recent.[/quote]
