Loudoun County Public Schools
The Loudoun County (Va.) board has approved construction of a $110.7 million middle school.
The campus will alleviate crowding at the district's Dulles North area middle school--in particular Brambleton Middle School in Ashburn, where enrollment exceeded capacity by 23% last fall, reports Loudoun Now.
Brambleton Middle's capacity is 1,445 students and had 1,631 enrolled in fall 2021. Student numbers for 2022-23 are projected to be 1,779. In order to accommodate more students, the district moved some eighth grade students to Independence High School in Ashburn, where they will use four modular classrooms that were added this summer.
The new middle school is scheduled to open fall 2024.
Howard Shockey and Sons is the construction manager.
