Electives might not be available because not enough kids select them, the number will grow each year as more kids are added to the school.

Kids are opting in, I know a bunch who have already done so.

The Fox Mill mom is going to pretend to be a sophomore to boost the enrollment numbers.

It really irks you that there are families from Fox Mill that want to move, doesn’t it? You do know that what is typed on this site has little impact on the final decision.

The poster, and others, is asking if kids will really opt in. The answer is yes, I know people. I am guessing that there are families from Crossfield and Floris that have opted in. I doubt that there are many from Oak Hill and I have no clue about kids from McNair and Coates.

Yeah, and south lakes sucks which is why we should move.

I don’t like our Black principal

Fox Mill ES attends Carson and the kids would like to attend HS with the kids that they go to MS with. Western is closer to Fox Mill than South Lakes. Many families at South Lakes would prefer AP to IB.

We know that you want Crossfield to move because you don’t like the bus ride to Oakton. That makes sense. Is there a reason that you have adopted the tactic of attacking and insulting anyone who has a different opinion?

There are several different people posting. I've posted about Crossfield, but I didn't post anything above.

Why bother opening a new high school when there is high levels of gatekeeping surrounding it.

All options are terrible.

Again I will say this:

Take all of Westfield Coates, all of Crossfield, and I mean all of it including the Navy island, all of Floris including discovery, all of Fox Mill, all of McNair, and all of Oak Hill.

With that, an estimated 2,162 students would be estimated to serve that high school.

Plus, after interior renovations, all should fit.

There’s a whole forum discussing how FCPS plans to FCPSify the former KAA.

New stadium and fields, removal of the second auxiliary gym, interior infills where open atriums exist, a larger cafeteria, and possibly modifications to the Auditorium.

Nothing major on the exterior except new signage.

With those changes, that 2,162 or more should fit.

If they can get Capacity up to 2,500 seats, that would be nice to accommodate further development.

Why do you keep insisting that the "Navy Island" is part of Crossfield? By definition it is not part of Crossfield. Those families go to Navy.

Crossfield was renovated and now has a design capacity of 750.

They can receive an extra 77 kids and
make the island theirs, girlfriend.

My understanding is the reason that move hasn’t been made before is because Carson is already crowded. The size of the Navy Island has fluctuated over the years. It’s not a ton of kids right now but at one point it was much bigger. I think Navy parents would fight it anyway. Just like everyone fights a change that would force their kids to switch schools. Nobody wants to be the ones whose kids are caught up in that.

I'm a navy parent a d we don't want the island or the chantilly feeding part.

We only want parents with kids in 5000+ sqft McMhanshiouns.

How massively entitled

DP. I am pretty sure that the PP was being facetious.

22033 is Fairfax/Navy. That one road that is split between Lee's Corner and Crossfield also has 22033--but there are not that many homes there to contribute that many signatures, I don't think. Navy friends may be helping with the petition.
20191 is Reston. Fox Mill Woods. But, they are not at Oakton.

The real question is: where do the other 20% of signatures come from? That may be Grandma and Grandpa.

20191 may be at SL, but they would be impacted by a move to Western too.

The point is that Fox Mill families are signing the petition because they'd rather be at Western. Navy families are signing because they see the writing on the wall. If Oakton goes significantly over capacity, they're next in line to get kicked out.

Fox Mill Woods is not Fox Mill elementary. There are Crossfield kids in Fox Mill Woods that go to South Lakes.

We are not talking about Fox Mill Woods, sweetie, we are talking about Fox Mill Elementary. Families from Fox Mill Elementary and Estates are signing the petition to keep Crossfield at Oakton because THEY (fox mill) wants to go to Oakton.

Maybe but I don’t know of anyone who has done that. I have not heard anyone discussing Crossfield or any other school outside of commenting that they don’t know people opting in from Crossfield or Oak Hill. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened but if it is I would think that the parents doing it would have advertised the petition to the FMES families that want to move to Western. For the most part, the people I know are focused on their kids and not worrying about the drama at Crossfield.

Are you capable of having a conversation in a polite manner or do you really think that being condescending and rude to everyone somehow makes you look stronger? Just curious.

But remember the Crossfield families that want to move to Western are the ones playing nice, it’s the others that are demeaning people in this thread…

Sounds like a good time to create your own petition. If few Crossfield families have in fact signed then yours will crush theirs!

DP (actually I did post the breakdown of the zip codes.) Agree about the PP who condescended with the "sweetie." It is rude and unnecessary.

However, the Reston zip was also represented. I think most of Fox Mill Elementary (all of it in boundary) is in Oak Hill--not Reston zips?
And, apparently, a number of people from the Reston zip did sign the petition. Not sure why.

I am annoyed at Meren for implying Fox Mill families all want to stay at SLHS. I don’t think this is the case at all, it just happens to be what SHE wants.
I want us to move to Western, because A. Property values and B. Kids being able to attend high school with their MS friends. This is a big one. And C. IB is not that great and I don’t like the amount of violence and drug and gang stuff going on at SLHS.

My kids suffered greatly in the transition between having made friends at Carson MS and then being separated while their friends all went to another HS. It is horrible and needs to end for future generations of students.

Why do Crossfield families have to suffer in this same way? We're in the exact same boat - our kids make friends at Carson and they get torn away. It's not fair.

Nobody said Crossfield families have to suffer.

Franklin has been split between Oakton and Chantilly since long before Carson was built. I guess Westfield also has some kids there, too.

Fox Mill Woods is in 20191. They don’t go to Oakton but they do not want any boundary changes.

If they are not affected, why are they signing a petition to keep Crossfield at Oakton?
One would think it would be those affected who would be signing the petition.
The petition was not against boundary changes. The petition was to keep Crossfield at Oakton.

I’ve noticed the pro-Western Crossfield moms post some very condescedning posts.

They are worse than the RIO moms.
