approximately one block northeast. By 2010, as predicted, the elementary schools that had absorbed Reed's student population (McKinley and Tuckahoe elementary schools) were the most overcrowded in the county, and the county considered expanding Reed to serve as an elementary school again. Due to neighborhood objections and recent construction at the site, a location on the campus of Williamsburg Middle School was chosen instead (Discovery Elementary, which opened in 2015). In 2014, the Reed building was also considered as a new location for the H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program. After neighborhood objection, citing the proximity of another secondary school (Swanson, below) and a new-found desire for a neighborhood elementary school, the district chose another location for H-B Woodlawn. By the fall of 2017 the Arlington School Board had approved construction at the Reed site of a new neighborhood elementary school. The conceptual design for the new school will be approved by the School Board in the spring. The new school is scheduled to open in the fall of 2021. Cardinal Elementary School The newly renovated and expanded Reed Building is now host to the new Cardinal Elementary School, which started accepting students in the fall of 2021.

Built in 1939, Swanson is part of the Arlington Historic District and is the oldest operating junior high in Arlington. Originally a 7-9th grade school, it currently serves 6-8th grade students. Swanson Junior High School, built by contractor E. A. Pessagnolo for a cost of $200,941, opened in 1939 on land formerly occupied by the A. Duke Torreyson family farm. In 1955, a large addition off the North side was constructed to add classroom space. In 1963 and 1968, the central courtyard of the original design was filled in via two additions which accommodated a gymnasium, classrooms, a library, and mechanical rooms. In 1958, Swanson was the focus of a racial desegregation controversy when it came under court order to admit an African American student. The student was
