Navy/Oakton and Crossfield/Oakton shares same zip, same city.
Navy/Oakton and Crossfield/Oakton should stay together like before! I have full respect for Crossfield families who advocate for their own kids, regardless of their preference. |

That is actually not true. |

Were you joking? |

Some Navy homes are in Herndon 20171 but the school itself and many of the other homes are in Fairfax. |

You do not live within Oakton boundary, that is why you spread misinformation. Why do you want to move other people's kids? Why do you drive a wedge among Oakton parents? Why do you drive a wedge between Oakton and Chantilly & Centreville parents? |

Hughes is an AAP center and will get relief soon enough when all the AAP kids go back to their assigned middle schools. Same for Carson. Franklin is not a center and shouldn't be filled/overcrowded now because many students will be coming back instead of going to Carson or Rocky Run for AAP. The board should plan ahead since getting rid of middle school AAP centers is one of their stated near-term goals. |

You are playing all the Oakton & Chantilly & Centreville parents all along like a fool. We care about our kids, you mistreat our kids. |

I've come up with a new game: Guess the parent!! This one above lives within Crossfield boundaries but has a child at Navy for AAP. |

You play other people's kids like a game! You seem to enjoy playing all the Oakton & Chantilly & Centreville parents and enjoy seeing us ALL suffering through this boundary review process. |

There are a lot of factors that WXY and FCPS are looking at like distance and school utilization but the middle school to high school feeding pattern is often overlooked.
For this boundary study, we have six high schools and six middle schools. The future middle to high school pyramids are: Carson – Skyview Hughes – South Lakes Rocky Run – Chantilly Franklin – Oakton Stone – Westfield Liberty – Centreville FCPS should try to match up each middle school’s boundary with its high school as much as possible to keep split feeders to a minimum. Obviously, perfect matching isn’t possible for every pair. Franklin is pretty far from Oakton, so it doesn’t make sense for them to have identical boundaries. But Carson, Hughes, and Rocky Run are right next to or really close to their high schools. Those three should have very similar boundaries, ideally the same. I know people have mentioned the capacity differences, but we’re not trying to make every school have exactly the same utilization. That’s not the goal. The target is staying in the 85%–105% range, and we can definitely give those three pairs nearly identical boundaries. Under Scenario 3, Hughes and South Lakes already have the exact same boundary, and Carson/Skyview are almost the same. Rocky Run and Chantilly are a little different but still pretty close under Scenario 1. For the fewest split feeders, I think FCPS should consider: Fox Mill – Carson – Skyview Oak Hill – Carson – Skyview Crossfield – Franklin – Oakton Lees Corner – Rocky Run – Chantilly |

Dp If true why would that make their concerns any less valid? Personally I wish they never bought KAA for all the discord it's brought. |

Nah, Fox Mill - Hughes - South Lakes Oak Hill - Carson - Skyview Crossfield - Carson - Skyview Lees Corner - Franklin - Chantilly |

But that doesn’t work. Stone is tiny - like 650 students. That extrapolates to 1300 kids at Westfield. That’s what, 50% capacity? |

DCUM is not the whole thing. Had they not bought Skyview, they would have more problems. And, if Fox Mill stays at South Lakes, then they should go to Hughes. And, sorry for the half of Crossfield parents that seem so upset, but they really should send Crossfield to Skyview. Any objective watcher would say this. |
