Worthington schools restructuring only affects middle school students and then not even most middle school students. Just the kids who would now attend one of the four (or five if you count Phoenix) middle schools in the Worthington City School District.
McCord Middle School - Map - 1500 Hard Road, Columbus, OH 43235
Perry Middle School - Map - 2341 Snouffer Road Worthington, OH 43085
The Perry Middle School building on Snouffer Road will still house Phoenix Middle School.
Google Maps seems ahead of the game. Google Maps gave me 1500 Hard Road as the address for Perry Middle School. The snippet of a Google Map here shows Google identifying Perry's address as 1500 Hard Road, Columbus Ohio 43235 rather than the Snouffer Road address. Google is identifying the 2341 Snouffer Road as Phoenix Middle School. Currently both Phoenix and Perry Middle Schools are housed in the building at 2341 Snouffer Road which says "Perry" on the front of the building.
The maps of the current Worthington middle school attendence areas and elementary school attendences area from the Worthington City School site:

If I understand this correctly the elementary feeder schools that will be affected are Brookside Estates Elementary, Bluffsview Elementary and Granby Elementary. Worthington area neighborhoods that are affected include: Bluffsview, Brookside Estates, Brookside Woods (the part that is in Worthington schools of course, not the part in Dublin), Brookside Village, The Lakes at Worthington, Oldstone Crossing, Smoky Row Manor, The Bluffs, Worthington Green, Worthingview and others.
Perhaps there is concern that McCord will be overcrowded though too, but the FAQ on the Worthington City School site tells projected class size.
Worthington schools restructuring
The NBC4i.com coverage includes a video Middle School Restructuring A Hot Topic Among Worthington Parents and says " Worthington Restructuring - Worthington City Schools is consolidating its middle schools due to declining enrollment."
The Worthington middle schools not affected by the restructuring are Worthingway and Kilbourne.
