Right now, there are three possible scenarios for redis-
tricting Stafford County's high schools, but School Board
members said Tuesday night that they wouldn't be sur-
prised if there are eventually seven or even more.
Redrawing the boundaries for all of Stafford's high schools
is necessary because the division is opening a sixth high
school in the southwest part of the county in August of
2026.
The attendance
zone for the new
high school, to
be located off
Truslow Road in
the Hartwood dis-
trict, will pull from
Mountain View
and Stafford high
schools and incor-
porate an island
that attends
Colonial Forge
high school.
In addition to
filling the new
school, the
county needs to ease overcrowding at the other five high
schools. Without redistricting, all of these schools will be
operating at between 98% and 108% of capacity by 2026.
The School Board will discuss current and newly proposed
scenarios at its next meeting on September 10. There will
be a public hearing on redistricting options on November
12, and the board will vote on new attendance zones on
December 10.
