Feedback Form for Bren Mar Park Elementary Feeder Schools Boundary Study

Give us your thoughts

The Fairfax County School Board approved boundary changes in January 2026, following FCPS’ comprehensive boundary review . At that time, the superintendent identified several areas, or “hot spots,” that require extended review to allow for additional community engagement and input. The Bren Mar Park community is one of those areas. The superintendent directed staff to present boundary recommendations for these areas to the School Board by January 2027. 

A meeting with the Bren Mar Park community was held in December 2025; however, potential changes were paused, so that we could provide additional opportunities for community input. We are now resuming the conversation around the proposed shift for Bren Mar Park Elementary School to feed into Key Middle School and Lewis High School.

Our goal is to continue gathering community feedback and evaluating options for a potential boundary change. Completing this feedback form will help us evaluate and develop future scenarios, which we will share with the community at a second meeting in the fall.

The form will be open through Friday, May 8. Thank you for your time.
