Greenbriar East is part of the redistricting that just occurred. If I remember right, they are losing students and adding on next year and the following year will receive students. You can find out more about it here: FCPS - Department of Facilities and Transportation Services - Facilities Planning Services-Southwestern Boundary Study

I teach in one of those areas and live close to another. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those schools. What specific information are you looking for though? What ages of students?

Might I also suggest looking up the individual demographics/test scores of each school on the FCPS website. In addition I'd visit each individual school website and PTA website (via school site). In my opinion you can get much more of a feel about a particular school that way than via greatschools.net. I've never met anyone that's posted on greatschools.net so I think it's credibility is lacking.
