If crazy Navy mom is worried about being moved, wouldn't their best bet be to push for Crossfield to be moved now to make more room at Oakton for that future development that's coming instead?  I don't think they really thought this through.[/quote]

You would think that Navy and Waples parents would be pushing to move Crossfield now - Navy could still be moved to Western in the future and Waples is under threat of being moved to Fairfax. [/quote]

One thing folks lose sight of in all the redistricting is FCPS’s desire to keep high performers spread across all schools to help with ratings.  It’s why the last redistricting in 2008 pulled fox mill to SLHS.  It worked.  Proposed Western neighborhoods have a high performing student population.  It’s why I don’t think Waples or Navy would get pulled out of Oakton to Western.  Without crossfield, navy and waples, the academic ratings would fall fast at Oakton.[/quote]

The SLHS redistricting in 2008 was the swan song for any overt redistricting to balance demographics.  Everything since then typically increased the disparities within FCPS, the boundary changes involving Annandale HS and then moving part of Lewis HS to West Springfield HS being the prime examples.  [/quote]

Oakton is aming the top 10 schools in Virginia.  FCPS won’t play around too much with its demographics.  They know exactly what they are doing.[/quote]

That didn't stop them from moving kids in 2008. [/quote]

They were strategic in that move.  Keeping enough at Oakton to maintain its status while moving enough to SLHS to uplift its status.  [/quote]

Actually, no.  They did it that way because Kathy Smith was Sully district.  [b]Almost all of the students at Crossfield are in Sully district. [/b] Not sure about the Folkestone area, but Fox Mill Woods is in Reston.  Stu Gibson was Hunter Mill.  I'm pretty sure that everyone redistricted to South Lakes lived in Hunter Mill.  There may have been a slight adjustment in the magisterial districts since then, but i think that is correct.

Noise was made at the time about Dranesville, but Janie didn't have it.  There may have been a small area that is now Hunter Mill that was moved.
I think the Sully portion of Floris remained at Westfield.

Not sure they will still give the same respect to the district SB member as they did in the past, but they certainly did then.  [/quote]

No it's split 50/50 between Hunters Mill and Sully.[/quote]

Wrong.  Very few in Crossfield are in Hunter Mill.  No where near 50/50.

You're wrong - it is all of the neighborhoods north of west ox/Folkstone Rds. That's maybe not half, but 1/3. There is a large portion of Crossfield that is NOT Franklin Farm. I don't know why you people think Franklin Farm is the only neighborhood that matters.[/quote]
