News: September Enrollment Figures Move Broad Run, Freedom to AAA; Dominion Projected as Third Largest Dulles District School

(Nov. 18, 2009) - The Virginia High School League released the Department of Education enrollment figures today that it uses for the next two-year redistricting and realignment for public high school sports in the state.

With three classifications in the state, the VHSL cuts membership in thirds and for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 two-year cycle the cutoffs are 1,535 and above for AAA, 755 to 1,535 for AA and 754 and below for A.

Those numbers put Broad Run (1,595) and Freedom (1,593) up into AAA. Stone Bridge (1,945) will remain in AAA and be the largest high school in Loudoun with projected enrollment numbers at Loudoun Valley (2,277) and Heritage (1,847), current AAA schools, falling to AA levels with the opening of Tuscarora in Leesburg and Woodgrove in Purcellville.

Loudoun Valley is projected at 1,131, Heritage at 1,204 and Loudoun County, which would have been promoted to AAA on the cutoff line at 1,535 is projected to fall to 1,170. Tuscarora is slated to open with 1,000 and Woodgrove 1,009.

Other Loudoun schools: Potomac Falls will be the fifth largest AA school in the state at a current 1,524 and Briar Woods will be the second largest of a 9-team Dulles District with 1,400 and Dominion, always one of the smallest Dulles schools, is on paper now the third largest Dulles school with 1,258. Park View is at 1,237.

Other items of note from the figures (see below for AAA and AA enrollment numbers) is that the nine largest schools in the state are all in Northern Virginia (Westfield 2,920; T.C. Williams 2,881; Battlefield 2,873; Robinson 2,764; Osbourn Park 2,713; Annandale 2,640; Chantilly 2,622; Woodbridge 2,510; and Gar-Field 2,478.

Also Clarke County misses a promotion to AA by just a single student with 754 students.
