[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the parents of older elementary school students at Crossfield think of Oakton as an elite school. That's why. [/quote]
The loudest ones don't even have kids at Crossfield anymore.  Their kids are 7th and 8th graders.[/quote]

Yup, I believer the leader of the group is a middle school parent.[/quote]

Yeah, I think we all know who that is. Feels like this has more to do with keeping their kid in the spotlight at a big-name sports school than what’s best for Crossfield.[/quote]

100%

What I find interesting through is that with the new high school, their kid has a chance to be the star of the show whereas at Oakton they'll just be average.[/quote]

Agree. Oakton sports are insane. How do they keep winning?? I would think many would be glad to make varsity at a new school when have no chance to make JV at Oakton. I say this as an Oakton parent but I guarantee you my high schooler would say the opposite--she would rather be bench warmer on a great team than starter on a bad team. So I can see both sides. (she doesn't play HS sports anyways but used to be in various club sports).[/quote]

It goes in cycles.  But, I know someone who "pupil placed" to Oakton for "social issues" his mom said.  It was for sports.  He was a good player on Oakton's team--but not a star.  Expected to be recruited for D1--didn't work out for him.  [/quote]

Rarely does.[/quote]
