Crofton School Shuffle Official

Re-Districting Plan Approved

The Anne Arundel County School Board approved a school re-districting proposal for the Crofton area last week. Very few things arouse as much passion in a community as the shuffling of children from one school to another, and not all Piney Orchard residents are happy with the accepted plan.

Some Piney Orchard students will move to Four Seasons Elementary School next year, under the approved plan, and children attending Kiddie Academy who don’t live within the new boundary for Piney Orchard Elementary will attend Four Seasons. Authors of a rejected re-districting proposal who threatened to appeal this decision to the State Department of Education, may do so for up to 30 days.

School Assignments

Based on the approved plan, some current students at Four Seasons, Crofton and Piney Orchard elementary schools will be moved to accommodate the new school, known as the “Gambrills Area” elementary school, and students attending the new school will attend Crofton Middle and Arundel High Schools.

A School Locator on the Anne Arundel County Public School website probably won’t be updated for a while, and I wouldn’t advise my clients to rely on it to determine where their children will attend school next year.
