[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Crossfield parent of a 7th grader. I hope that we get moved to Western. My child has made a lot of new friends at Western and is bummed that they won’t go to the same high school. They are hoping that we’ll be rezoned to Western but we’ve discussed and they are aware that a lot of parents feel differently. It’s just such a bummer because all of their new friends PLUS a lot of the kids they play sports with in CYA will end up at Western. They would like to remain with their Carson and CYA friends. As a parent, I want this for them too. It’s hard to see friends ripped apart (this already happened when a handful of kids ended up at Hughes this year) and we expected it for high school but wouldn’t it be great if all the Carson kids could stay together?? That’s what we want - and like I said, I’m a parent of an older “Crossfield kid”. I know some of my kid’s friends and their parents feel the same way. Even some whose older siblings are at Oakton. Not every parent of a high schooler likes it - I’ve heard about bullying and too much competitiveness. I really just want stability. [/quote]

I know this is the status quo - like if we stayed zoned to Oakton, this is what would happen, but now that there is another option, I agree. My kids would prefer to stay in school with the friends they meet through sports (although the McNair and Coates kids usually play in the Herndon and Reston leagues). But the only kids we ever meet that are going to Oakton are Navy, and there aren't actually that many Navy kids in CYA either. I don't know where the majority of them play.[/quote]

There are a lot Navy kids in CYA.

I guess my kids are just never paired with them. Most of the people they meet are actually Poplar Tree/Rocky Run or Floris/Carson for whatever reason.[/quote]

There are plenty of Franklin kids and from Franklin feeders in CYA.[/quote]
