Bottom line seems to be that every school in that area of the county is overcrowded and the school system seemingly has no plan other than to continually reshuffle the kids to move the problem around. Brilliant!

Also, I think they could assign some of these new developments to a different school since they are a large group so it would be OK if they were different from the broader neighborhood. That townhouse development on a Great Falls should have gone to Lemon Road, for example.

There are also parts of Kent Gardens and Franklin Sherman that are close to Chesterbrook. I think a few Kent Gardens parents might also want to relieve some of their over crowding too. Chesterbrook isn't over crowded, but it would be if the boundaries were changed. Currently they have two trailors, so any additional enrollment would require more trailors. Plus, people might argue the Chesterbrook did its part to relieve Haycock by having a popular LLIV and removing ~90-100 students from the AAP Center.

If we back up a bit and look around, to relieve Haycock and Kent Gardens they could renovate the old Lewinsville School and reopen it. They could move the current services at Lewinsville to the Pimmit School. Heck, as long as I am dreaming, they could move the Board of Supervisors daycare from Lemon Road and open up 6 more classrooms at Lemon Road.

There are other areas closer to Haycock and Timber Lane that now cross Route 7 to get to Lemon Road (i.e., the area that recently got redistricted from Freedom Hill).

That doesn't make sense. If they cross 7 to get to Lemon Road, they would cross 7 to get to Haycock.

Rte 7 would be a really busy road to cross for a neighborhood school in this area.

Not plotting anything, my children do not go and have never gone to Haycock or Timber Lane nor are we in/near either boundary. However, the Timber Lane section, IMO is an island. Good bad or indifferent, it is what it is.

I have one currently at Longfellow and I hope that Timber Lane stays - for whatever that is worth.

I do think the Cooper will eventually, short term 5 years, have to take more students through reabsorbing their AAP students or redrawing the borders. The bursting feeder Elementary Schools to Longfellow keep growing and Longfellow will be over capacity soon. Longterm, more capacity all around will have to be built to accommodate the expected increased Tyson's residents.

I would not view it as an "island," and I think I have some sense as to why that was held out as relevant to this thread, at least momentarily, but it's not really worth debating further. The larger point - that there is some significant population growth taking place near Tysons and it would be nice if we could anticipate it and plan ahead, rather than just react to it, is one that bears repeating.

If you're looking at the Timber Lane map, the area between Railroad and Leesburg Pike is businesses only. There are no homes there.

I'm happy to discuss where current boundaries lie or what enrollments FCPS curently is projecting for various schools. I agree with you that speculation about who else potentially might get reassigned from Haycock at some undetermined future date is 100% idle chatter.

You are incorrect. That is the Shrevewood district. There is no point where Timber Lane's boundaries touch Haycock's.

Here you go:

Timber Lane boundaries: http://www.fcps.edu/images/boundarymaps/timberlanees.pdf

Haycock boundaries: http://www.fcps.edu/images/boundarymaps/haycockes.pdf

The boundaries intersect where Haycock/Shreve crosses Route 7. You can live off part of Shreve Road and be assigned to Timber Lane, not Shrevewood.

They intersect at the Giant Parking lot and George Mason High School. No one lives there. It sure looks like an island to me.

Timber Lane (not Timberlane; it's a school, not a shutter manufacturer) has borders with Haycock, Shrevewood, Pine Spring, Graham Road, Beech Tree AND Falls Church City.
