FAIRFAX COUNTY SCHOOL RESEARCH
Woodson Pyramid School Research for a Specific Property
Review the eight schools in the current Woodson context, the documented split-feeder cautions, and the four address checks to complete before you rely on a listing or lease.
WHAT A PYRAMID MEANS
Use the pyramid as orientation—not an assignment result
FCPS uses pyramid language to organize schools around a high-school context. A feeder school is one whose students commonly progress to a particular next-level school, but attendance areas can split. The official locator result for the complete property address is the controlling research step.

PROGRAMS AND PRACTICAL RESEARCH
Use official school sources to compare what is actually offered
Pyramid labels do not describe every program or service available at each school. These links orient the research; eligibility, course availability, transportation, and schedules should be confirmed directly with FCPS.
Woodson High programs
The FCPS profile lists Advanced Placement Diploma, Career and Technical Education, College Partnership, world languages, and other division programs.

Review the eight schools in the current Woodson context
The current official-source package supports these school records for the 2026–27 context. Use the names, contacts, and grade spans to continue your research; do not treat the list as a universal feeder sequence.
PHYSICAL SCHOOL LOCATIONS
See the eight school buildings by level
Use the color-coded shapes to compare physical locations: circles for elementary schools, squares for middle schools, and diamonds for the high school. The map does not draw attendance boundaries and cannot establish assignment.

SPLIT FEEDERS AND EXCEPTIONS
Two split-feeder cautions can change the expected sequence
Little Run and Olde Creek require address-specific interpretation. Current FCPS boundary-review material identifies them as split-feeder schools, so their downstream paths cannot be stated universally.
Frost does not automatically mean Woodson for every address. Current rising-ninth-grade advising includes both Woodson and Annandale information.
Decision rule: Treat these names as pathway context. Verify the actual elementary, middle, and high-school assignments with the official FCPS boundary locator.
WHAT FAMILIES ASK ABOUT
Turn recurring local questions into verifiable research steps
Public conversations repeatedly raise boundary, feeder, program, and housing questions. Anonymous opinions are not presented as school facts; the answers below use official sources and the same rules for every pyramid.
Does “Woodson pyramid” guarantee a Woodson High assignment?
No. It is useful school-system context, not a property-level assignment result. Verify the complete address and all three grade levels in the FCPS Boundary Locator.
Why might the apparent elementary–middle–high sequence differ by address?
Attendance areas can split, and FCPS has documented split-feeder and attendance-island situations. Little Run, Olde Creek, and some Frost pathways require address-specific interpretation.
Which academic and specialized programs are documented at Woodson?
The current FCPS profile lists Advanced Placement Diploma, Career and Technical Education, College Partnership, world languages, a Deaf and Hard of Hearing center, a Comprehensive Service Site, and other services. Confirm course-level availability through the current school catalog and advising team.
Did the recent FCPS boundary review make the pyramid permanent?
No boundary should be treated as permanent. FCPS adopted divisionwide changes in January 2026 and updated its tools for the 2026–27 school year. Recheck the applicable year before signing or closing.
Are the 22031 listings on this page assigned to Woodson?
Not necessarily. ZIP 22031 is housing context because it contains the Woodson campus. The listing search is not an attendance-boundary search.

CURRENT 22031 HOUSING INVENTORY
Compare active homes and rentals near the Woodson campus ZIP
These searches use ZIP code 22031 as housing context because it contains the Woodson High School campus. A ZIP-code result does not establish Woodson pyramid membership or school assignment. Verify every property’s full address with FCPS.

Official FCPS sources, dates, and limitations
This guide was checked August 31, 2026 for the 2026–27 context. FCPS adopted divisionwide boundary changes in January 2026, but a pyramid label still does not confirm the assignment for a property. Leadership, programs, schedules, grade configurations, and future-year assignments can change.
