[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.

Fox Mill attends Carson, which will be next to the new HS. It makes sense for Fox Mill to attend the new HS.

And yes, I am a Fox Mill parent who doesn't like IB and doesn't want to move to Hughes. Moving the Carson base school students into the new HS would make sense. It ends the split feeder problem at Carson and the distances work for the Carson base schools kids. SLHS doesn't lose that many students because Fox Mill is a small number of the kids. Not to mention, a good number of the Fox Mill family's pupil place to AP schools because they don't want IB. The number of pupil departures are hidden by the Herndon kids who move to SLHS for IB because they don't want to be at Herndon.

You don't know that the new high school won't be IB.[/quote]

Let’s hope FCPS doesn’t make it an IB school.  They don’t do IB well at all.  [/quote]
