Farmwell Station Middle School

Originally, the school was formerly a railway station on the W&OD Trail. Farmwell Station opened in 1995 to alleviate crowding at Seneca Ridge Middle School in Sterling, which was designated to be the feeder middle school of the then-future Potomac Falls High School. Throughout the years, Farmwell Station's boundary lines have changed. In the 1999-2000 school year, Farmwell shifted half of its student body to Harper Park Middle School, which opened that year. In the 2004-2005 school year, Mercer Middle School opened, taking Farmwell's South Riding and Aldie students. Due to overcrowding, Farmwell had to move a portion of its students to Eagle Ridge Middle School and the recently opened Stone Hill Middle School in the 2007-2008 school year. When Trailside Middle School opened in the 2014-2015 school year, Farmwell shifted some of its students to it.

Farmwell Station has been the feeder middle school for Broad Run High School since it opened. To accommodate the opening of Riverside High School in 2015, the boundary lines for Broad Run changed, resulting in a quarter of Farmwell students being zoned for Stone Bridge High School. This caused controversy, not only due to the intense rivalry between the two schools, but also due to many Farmwell students living closer to Broad Run. In compensation, the class of 2017 was given the choice of either attending Stone Bridge or Broad Run, and the class of 2018 was given the choice of either going straight to Stone Bridge, or going to Broad Run for a year and then transferring there. In the 2014-2015 school year, Farmwell shifted all of its students zoned for Stone Bridge to Trailside Middle School, making it now the feeder middle school to only Broad Run.
