Subject: How does on figure out school pyramids?
Anonymous wrote:I'm new to the area and am trying to figure out the "school pyramids". Does anyone know how one goes about this? I like to start with the high schools and work my way down. So for example if I think "Oh I'd like to look for houses in the McLean High School area, I wonder which middle school and elementary schools feed into that high school?" -- how do I got about getting this info? I've looked at boundary maps, but since I'm not familiar with the area, it's hard for me to figure this out. I also cannot find it on schooldigger dot com. It would be lovely if there was a chart somewhere that listed the feeder schools to the various high schools.
I realize that school boundaries can change every so often, but any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
The elementary schools that feed into McLean High School are somewhat interchangeable - they're for the most part all great - so it might not matter much
And almost all of the kids going to McLean come from Longfellow Middle School if I'm not mistaken.

It is up to date now. I’m guess it may have also taken them a while to reflect the changes to the Jackson MS/Thoreau MS boundaries in FCPS, although this now also appears to be up to date.
I've also seen sometimes in Arlington that they'll show a house zoned to Arlington Traditional which is a lottery school w/out a boundary.
Again, verify the data. Some realtors will code it incorrectly.
But RedFin is a great tool to search for homes based on schools and commute.
