[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Chantilly Highlands- the Oak Hill neighborhood in question. The Ladybank carve out was ridiculous - it was literally one street in a tightly connected neighborhood. I think for the most part families are happy with Chantilly, our former well-liked elementary school admin heads it and we’ve seen good outcomes but we are the furthest distance wise, I believe,  and the trailer situation is not good. The sports are strong and that is probably what gives many the most pause. That said I think an all fresh/soph class at the new school gives JV sports a chance to gel and if they do the AI and Engineering sub programs there are a ton of families interested in that who think TJ is too far.  It will be rocky at times but it will also be a new modern school with advanced facilities and potentially advanced curriculum- honestly the Oakton families can stay at Oakton if they love it so much- plenty of people willing to take the chance on a next-gen school though we will remain fond of Chantilly which so many of our kids attended happily.[/quote]

Very well said! I have a middle schooler who is very excited about the new school and the pool much closer to our house than Chantilly. [/quote]

Also, a Chantilly Highlands resident.  The only ones I've heard complain are the ones whose kids will be the first to go.  Personally, I was thrilled to have a school close by.[/quote]

I don’t understand why crossfield and fox mill aren’t fighting to go to the new school. It’s been said here before that crossfield can either come to the new school now or get zoned to south lakes in the next 5 year boundary nonsense. And Fox mill is super close too and most families there want AP. [/quote]

We are fighting but we don't know how to create a fancy website and lobbying group!!![/quote]

Write a petition, print it out, and ask people to sign it. You can hang out at the bus stops, go door to door, and I think you can ask people for signatures outside the school as long as you stay on the sidewalk. [/quote]
