Va. Hills Admin Center was most definitely an elementary school in the past. I went there first through fourth grades in the 1960s. My family moved to another part of the county after that, so I can't say when it was closed.
To the best of my recollection, though, the description of the school on the website is incorrect about the 7th grade part. My eldest brother (amazing to recall how many of us crammed into those small houses back then) started there in 1955, finished the 6th grade, then went to Mark Twain Intermediate (now "Middle School" for some reason or the other) for 7th and 8th grade. If FCPS ever considered 8th grade as high school, the practice must have ended by early in the Kennedy administration.
