I know several students specifically that transferred out of Woodson to LB.


We transferred to Lake Braddock. It is closer to our house than Woodson.


We must be neighbors! We're in Red Fox Forest.

I wish FCPS would make boundary changes as some of them make no sense. Lake Braddock is just over a mile from my house. Woodson is over 4 miles.

Different poster here.

I believe LB is under capacity, in spite of being so large.

But the proximity thing is the one that you'll have to deal with once you find a program. Look at the languages - depending on where you live that might be an option. But LB has to be the closest school to your house per FCPS that offers that program.


Japanese.

Thanks!


Not OP, but we have had no trouble renewing our pupil placement at Lake Braddock. The school supplies the renewal form each year.

Thank you, PPs. I will call the FCPS staff person in the student transfer office.
