You are probably right.

They are supposed to provide three scenarios so I won't be suprised to see scenarios where

1. Lees Corner is included (i.e. Option E)
2. Fox Mill is included (minor variation of Option B)
3. Crossfield is included (minor variation of Option A)

I really think they're going to throw us for a loop and add Navy to one of the scenarios - Navy kids go to Chantilly and Oakton.

You mean: put Navy into Chantilly? I don't think they will do that and, except for Navy Island, it really does not make sense to send them to Skyview.

Herndon is further from Skyview.

Have some common sense

I know all of you want what's best for your kids, but some of you are looking at this particular situation of a new school opening where you want what's best for existing high schools and Skyview. Rather than worrying so much about sports and test scores, think ahead and treat this new high school like a gift rather than a cure handed down to you by Queen Grimhilde.

We need less pontificating via biases, and more respect, courtesy, open mindedness, and also to look at what makes the best sense instead of looking at what you want. I know this is a contentious process like many other boundary changes conducted by this school district, but 5-10years down the line when Skyview is more established, all of you will be thankful this high school opened.

20171 has been divided for years and this gift of a new high school we've been given will unify us once and for all.

Crossfield is not Oakton, it is Herndon!

Fox Mill is not Reston, it is Herndon!

Oak Hill is not Chantilly, it is Herndon!

Floris, McNair, and Coates, all Herndon!

So suppress your privelage and welcome all of 20171 in open arms!

There won't be space at Skyview any time soon for six ES feeders, and it would be nuts to spend more money on top of the money already being to spent to expand (and not just retrofit Skyview) to handle six feeders.

Of course, if all these schools are truly "Herndon," then taking advantage of some of the excess capacity at Herndon could be considered.

Instead of focusing on ES feeders, they should be focusing on MS feeders. It makes zero sense to be assigned to Carson but then not attend Skyview just next door.

You seem to be operating on the assumptions that FCPS bought KAA primarily so everyone at Carson could attend the same high school and that Skyview will have space for everyone now zoned to Carson.

Not sure that either of those assumptions are correct. Skyview will have limited capacity, and relieving overcrowding at Chantilly was a big priority. Most of Oak Hill now goes to Franklin.

Fox Mill was in options B, C, and D. I know those are no longer but it was in 3 of the initial drafts that were mentioned.

No, I think that Crossfield was in 3, but Fox Mill was in 1.

No. Both Crossfield and Fox Mill were in 3.

What may happen is there may be elementary , middle and high school adjustments

Agree, eliminating split feeders is very low on the list of priorities for fcps. Many kids are st split feeders.

No. Both Crossfield and Fox Mill were in 3.

Options C and D were ridiculous. They kept Discovery Square at Westfield. Discovery Square is walking distance to Skyview.

Option A was the best under objective standards. Just add all of Floris.

It's meaningless to discuss the previous options. We will have new ones and most likely one of them will be Option E.

Without the AAP kids, I do think all Carson kids could go to Skyview (inc FMES and CES) and that would make the absolute most sense. HOWEVER Oak Hill families will not allow that. They will insist that they go to Skyview because it's the closest even though they go to Franklin which is further away than Carson and even though the Franklin Farm families live closer to Chantilly than Skyview.

I am a Crossfield parent and I absolutely DO NOT WANT MY CHILD AT FRANKLIN. NO NO NO NO.

It would be absolutely idiotic not to assign Oak Hill to Skyview. Otherwise you’d have to move other families living closer to Chantilly to another school to provide Chantilly capacity relief, and if they aren’t with doing something to provide Chantilly with meaningful relief the main justification for purchasing KAA goes up in smoke.

Some of you Carson folks are so self-centered it almost defies belief.

It is not self centered to want our children to attend the same high school as their middle school friends. How awful would it be to be the only kids at your MS where everyone from your middle school except for you goes to Skyview?
