Herndon Boundaries
Why Are School Boundaries Under Review?
Fairfax County Public Schools is reviewing boundary lines to improve how students are served across the district. The committee’s goals include:
- Promoting equitable access to programs and facilities
- Balancing enrollment to better use school space
- Creating more consistent attendance zones by reducing isolated areas and split feeder patterns
- Minimizing student travel time
This process invites community input and aims to support long-term planning across all schools.
