Some kids zoned for Heritage live in neighborhoods close to Riverside and could probably go there to alleviate Heritage crowding. Why independence isn’t on that list when it’s over capacity 3 years in while Rock Ridge sits half empty (literally- 1200 kids enrolled) is insane. Some new developments being built in Sterling may go to Park View.

I think Riverside is close to capacity. The kids you might be thinking of who currently attend Heritage (River Creek neighborhood?) I believe might get rezoned to Tuscarora under the current plan.

Another related issue is that Heritage was selected to be one of the two schools in Loudoun for the IB program starting soon... the expectation is that this will drive up the number of special permission requests to attend Heritage by a lot, pushing it way to capacity. (The other site is Loudoun Valley HS in Purcellville.) So that's not helping with the crowding issues in central Loudoun.

River Creek parents will lose their mind if they pay those house prices , taxes and HOA fees for their kids to get sent to Tuscarora.

Let's talk about that attitude which is really fueled by racism and entitlement. Tuscarora has too many black kids for the parents in Landsdowne/Riverside. That's really what you are referring to. Rock Ridge was supposed to be built before Riverside because of the crazy crowding at the high schools in that part of Ashburn but one of the school board reps made sure her Landsdowne constitutents were taken care of before everyone else. Why does everyone who is not black avoid Tuscarora?

The amount of money you pay for your house should not have any determination as to where you go to school in a public school system.
