That's not the reason but I agree Crossfield will not get moved.

That's not true. Kids got moved in and out of Marshall this year. Kids from Floris that go to South Lakes are being moved to Skyview.

PP is incorrect, but no got moved into Marshall this year, only out of IB Marshall into AP Madison. There were earlier proposals to swap McLean and Marshall neighborhoods, and then Madison and Marshall neighborhoods, but they ended up just moving some Vienna neighborhoods from Marshall to Madison.

That will be one of their reasons they don’t want to move but we know the real reason.

School board members and Gatehouse will take meetings with a PTO president, but they won't take meetings with a regular citizen or group of citizens. So we have to advocate with letters and conversations when we can get them, and it's just not as easy as being a big vocal group that says "we are the PTO Board, we represent the entire community, you must meet with us".

I think families like ours with kids in K-3 are pretty screwed - by the time our kids get to high school, there will be another boundary review and we are likely to get zoned out of Oakton...into South lakes. By that time, the current groups' kids will be in college - who knows if by then we will know a lobbyist and person in Gatehouse that can help us get what we want.

All that to say congratulations Fox Mill families, I think you're going to get lucky and Crossfield families are going to get screwed by the current PTO and their friends.

can you explain why you think Crossfield will move from Oakton to SL?

I live in Highland Oaks and I’d prefer to stick with the rest of the ES community, whether it’s feeding into Chantilly or Oakton. I don’t care, they’re both great schools. It’s sad that 90% of Navy goes to Oakton except for this little sliver of communities off of RT 50.

Tell me you don’t have a high schooler without telling me you don’t have a high schooler. The commute to Oakton is brutal and would be very difficult once your kid has after school activities/evening events. Navy Chantilly Moms are very happy with Chantilly and their short commute.

Meh. The rest of the Navy community doesn’t seem to mind it. In fact they’re sending out school-wide communications to unite messaging to stick with Oakton. So this Navy Chantilly parent is sticking with my original position. I would rather stay with the community, whichever direction they put us.

The emails from Navy are basically asking people to comment on the boundary tool and asking to preserve the current boundaries. I don't think it's about everyone wanting Oakton so much as not splitting up the Navy community, which all three scenarios do just in different ways. The proposal to move some Navy kids to Crossfield seems off the table for now. But there's still the weird Navy to Rocky Run to Oakton proposal. And I guess some are upset about being moved from Oakton to Chantilly, though I think that's not such a bad change especially since some Navy kids already go there. They should just unify around the Rocky Run scenario not making any sense.

The only reason they moved some of Navy to Rocky Run is because Crossfield now has taken over Franklin in all 3 scenarios. And the only reason Crossfield wants Franklin is so they can avoid Skyview and remain at a Oakton permanently, even though they are literally the furthest from Oakton and one of the closest to Skyview. They should be going to Skyview period.

Not really. Part of the Navy goes to Chantilly, and Rocky Run is the feeder middle school for Chantilly.

Plus, Oak Hill will leave Franklin and Franklin need students as a result.

Rocky Run is a better middle school than Franklin.

I’m not in an impacted area, but I find it revolting when folks here flippantly push for other areas to move.

Franklin is a feeder school for Chantilly and has been for a long time.

I don't know what is going on, but it would seem that someone told XYZ what to do with Crossfield.

Franklin feeds to both Oakton and Chantilly.

Yes. And, it has for many, many years. However, at one time, most of Navy (all?) fed into Chantilly along with Lee's Corner and Oak Hill. Waples Mill did not. Not sure where Floris went before Carson was built.

Some schools want to move, at least a significant percentage of the FMeS population wants to move. It could be easier. Just saying.

We are a Navy family who is zoned for Oakton in all 3 scenarios. We would be more than happy to move to Chantilly if it meant keeping the cohort together. Logistically, it makes much more sense for us anyway

Yes really. Franklin MS is currently a feeder to only Oakton HS and Chantilly HS. It’s a great way for Navy Chantilly kids to meet other Chantilly HS kids. Lees Corner ES goes to Franklin MS and feeds into Chantilly HS. If Navy Chantilly kids get put at Rocky Run MS they lose out on meeting the Lees Corner kids as well as other kids going to Chantilly HS. Rocky Run is an AAP center so splits to more high schools than just Oakton and Chantilly.
