The table below shows the potential for residential development in each middle school and high school attendance zone as of July 2017. The number of home sites available is based on approved site plans and subdivision plans. It is anticipated that site work will begin on these home sites within the next three to five years.
Home Sites Approved for Residential Development
School Approved Preliminary Home Sites*
Deep Creek Middle 30
Great Bridge Middle 238
Hickory Middle 1026
Hugo Owens Middle 1042
Grassfield High 823
Great Bridge High 216
Hickory High 777 *The number of home sites are for each attendance school zone at each school level. Therefore, some of the same approved home sites are duplicated in both middle and high school levels and should not be combined.
CURRENT ATTENDANCE ZONE MAPS: Current middle school attendance zone maps can be found on page 13. Current high school zone attendance maps can be found on page 14.

“PROS & CONS” Summary for Option 1: A “Pros & Cons” list for attendance zone Option 1 is presented below. This is not a complete list but represents major considerations/factors:
PROS • Utilizes existing capacity at Deep Creek Middle School • Allows for future enrollment growth at Hugo Owens Middle School • Reduces Hickory Middle School enrollment to future building capacity (with the
completion of the addition in 2019-20.) • Grassfield Elementary School will feed into one middle school instead of two middle
schools • Reduces transportation time for some of the areas immediately south of Rt. 17 Dominion
Boulevard South
CONS
• Deep Creek Central Elementary School will feed into two middle schools instead of one • Creates less efficient use of school bus transportation and will likely require additional
buses and drivers for some areas • Increases transportation time for some areas in the southern portion of the proposed
Hugo Owens Middle School attendance zone
