Stage 1 of the boundary process, taking place May 27 to June 20, 2021, is the Planning Unit Data Review: it is an important first step, allowing sufficient time for the community to review the data and provide input to staff about any data point(s) that need attention.

The goal of the Data Review process is to post data by planning unit, for community members interested in a detailed data review, that will be used for the following Fall 2021 processes, which would take effect at the start of the 2022-23 school year:

  • Boundary adjustments for neighborhood Middle and High Schools
  • Boundary adjustments for Abingdon and Dr. Charles R. Drew Elementary Schools

APS staff will review all feedback make any necessary revisions to the data in consultation with Arlington County staff when applicable. A summary of community input and the final planning unit data will be posted in August 2021.

We are asking the community to do the following:

  • Review planning unit data using their knowledge of the neighborhoods (Planning Units are the geographic building blocks used to define attendance boundaries for neighborhood schools); and
  • Provide input to staff about any data point(s) that need attention
