[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like if pro Western Crossfield families get their way and they have younger kids they can move twice. “ “The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a rezoning proposal on Tuesday (Jan. 13) that will bring nearly 450 new residential units to a 12-acre site in the McNair Farms area near Herndon.” The FCPS’ CIP assesses Oakton’s student population will decrease from 103 to 98% by SY31.  Sounds like staying at Oakton is the best bet for stability.

Pro Western Franklin Farm crossfield parent like to use young kids/older kids as their excuse to get what they prefer. They couldn't care less about other people's younger kids, but their own. [/quote]

So tired of you Crossfield-to-Navy for AAP/Carson/wannabe TJ but will settle for nothing less than Oakton parents thinking your opinion matters more than anyone else’s. Yes, we can tell who you are by your syntax. If you are so dead set on Oakton as the only acceptable backup to TJ you should have bought a home closer to the high school. Sorry you couldn’t figure out how to be successful enough to afford true Oakton, McLean, or Langley. You you can’t buy a home in Herndon and be shocked at the idea that your child might have to attend high school in… Herndon. You get what you pay for. [/quote]

Dp. Are you saying all of us who are pushing for Western are poor, including you? All the other schools are lesser schools other than Langley, Mclean and Oakton. That is sad.[/quote]Other schools are just as good with homes of varying price points in each attendance zone.

What’s sad is that DP posted something that reflects poorly on their fragile masculinity/femininity and elitism that reflects grave insecurity.[/quote]

In certain communities, there is a high priority on going to the "best" school.  Those same communities place a high focus on academics and certain brand name colleges. That is a high priority for those cultures because you are viewed as a failure if you don't go down that path. Obviously people from other communities have a focus on other things for a high school experience. We are not "all the same" which is why diversity is such a great thing!

[u]Traditionally, Carson has been one of the schools that sent the most students to TJ.[/u] Perhaps you would understand why so many people want to feed into Carson with Oakton as a backup.

There are a lot of people who bought into the whole Crossfield community with that background for that particular pathway (the crossfield to AAP to Carson to Oakton pathway), who also  they tend not to be in the Franklin Farm part of Crossfield.  They tend to be in the large houses with larger plots of land on the east side of Ox Road that surprise, surprise, cost the same or MORE as Oakton proper (check Zillow)  excluding the 10-15 million dollar estates.  These people could have afforded living closer to Oakton, but living closer to Oakton doesn't get you the largest peergroup that heads to TJ which happens to be at Carson.

In 208 pages of this topic, I don't think anyone has noticed this.[/quote]

Guess what?

[b]Some of those Carson --> TJ kids are actually Franklin kids OR are kids whose base HS is Westfield, so it isn't as though the Oakton- bound kids are the only smart ones. [/b][/quote]

FWIW:

Chantilly sends more kids to TJ than Oakton or Langley.
Some come from Franklin/Carson and some come from Rocky Run.  I don't know the stats, but I suspect most come from Carson--which means Oak Hill and Lees Corner.[/quote]
