HCPSS Redistricting for 22-23 and Deep Run ES Families

Thu, 10/20/2022 - 9:49pm

On October 13th the Board of Education held a work session related to the redistricting process to open New High School #13.  At the meeting the Board voted to continue considering the Superintendent's Recommendation as the preliminary plan.  This preliminary plan does not include any changes to the assigned high school for Deep Run families.  Most students attend Long Reach HS and a small number of students living very close to Deep Run ES go to Oakland Mills HS.  This preliminary plan has no changes for the middle school Deep Run students would attend.  There will be no redistricting of elementary schools.   At this time there is no guarantee this is the plan that will be adopted.  The Board of Education's vote is currently planned for November 17th. 

The Feasibility Study conducted earlier this year presented four scenario plans.  It should be noted that some of the scenarios included changes in high school for Deep Run ES families.  Scenario A has Deep Run students going to Oakland Mills HS, Long Reach HS and Hammond HS.  Scenario B has all Deep Run students going to Long Reach High School.  Scenario C increases the number of students going to Oakland Mills HS and keeping some students at Long Reach HS.  Scenario D keeps the high schools for Deep Run students as they are now.
