School board seeks to take site for 14th high school via eminent domain
The Prince William School Board has launched eminent domain proceedings to acquire its chosen site for the county’s 14th high school, which is hoped to open in 2024
If the school division is successful in acquiring the property, it would directly impact the attendance area of Osbourn Park High School. But its mid-county location means the new school could also affect the boundaries of eastern Prince William County high schools, which include Colgan, Forest Park, Hylton, Freedom, Gar-Field and Woodbridge high schools.
Each of those high schools are projected to be between 72 and 513 students overcapacity by 2023, according to school division enrollment projections. Freedom and Colgan high schools are projected to be the most overcrowded by 2023, with each at about 500 students overcapacity.
Osbourn Park High is projected to be 432 students overcapacity, and Woodbridge High is projected to be 450 students overcapacity.
