[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]All of Floris, McNair, and Fox Mill go to Carson. Most of Coates and Crossfield go there, along with a small part of Oak Hill (rest of Oak Hill goes to Franklin).

The people who are being really aggressive on the topic seem to be Crossfield folks insisting that they'll have dibs on the new school.[/quote]

I don't think anyone has "dibs."

The Crossfield folks currently go to Oakton --which is a very long way.  
Chantilly (while projected to lose membership) is the school that needs relief.

I could see Fox Mill staying with South Lakes.  South Lakes is not going to want to give them up.

Crossfield is an anomaly in that much of its population lives closer to other elementary schools, but those are neighborhood elementary schools and Franklin Farm and the surrounding neighborhoods east of Fairfax County Parkway don't have a neighborhood elementary school, so they got placed in Crossfield which is on a busy road without much of a neighborhood surrounding it (except for the one that doesn't want to be there, LOL). Those neighborhoods are much closer to this new school than any other high school in the area. [/quote]
There was a lot of talk about the Sully district being sent to Oakton during last nights discussion, so I can’t imagine a scenario that doesn’t place Crossfield at either the new school, or less likely, South Lakes. I’m guessing the new school will include Coates, McNair, Floris, and then some combination of Oak Hill, Fox Mill, or Crossfield. If it’s Oak Hill and Fox Mill, then Crossfield would be sent to South Lakes. [/quote]
It would make more sense to keep Fox Mill at South Lakes and move Crossfield to the new school so only one group of people has to switch schools and so kids in AP can stay at an AP school (assuming it's an AP school).[/quote]
