[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Oakhill goes to Franklin Farms, not Carson, and feeds Chantilly. I would be shocked if they sent Oak Hill to KAA. They were looking to pull some Oak Hill students to Fox Mill but I think those Oak Hill students went to Oakton and not Chantilly. Pulling Oak Hill into KAA drastically reduces Chantilly. Moving kids from Oak Hill, like they already planned, would reduce Chantilly by enough to relieve the overcrowding without causing massive upheaval. Especially since Chantilly's numbers have started to decline.

I fully expect that they will be pulling from Coates, McNair and Floris for KAA. All three schools feed Carson. The leftover space will most likely end up being Crossfield or Fox Mill, probably Crossfield because of the long commute to Oakton that they currently have. If they shift Fox Mill, then Crossfield is moved to SLHS and that is not going to make them happy. Very few people are interested in IB, even as a trade off for a shorter commute. Westfield will see some relief and they can shift kids to Westfield from Chantilly or Centerville.[/quote]

Have you ever been to this area?  Doesn't sound like it.

[b]Oak Hill goes to Franklin[/b] (not Franklin Farm)--though likely half of them go to Carson for AAP.  Did you even read the earlier post?  The neighborhood is pretty equidistant from Franklin and Carson. 
Oak Hill is by far the closest elementary school to KAA.  Chantilly needs relief.  I would be shocked if they did not put them at KAA.  There might be some adjustment with the middle school.

No those kids they were discussing to move to Fox Mill are currently assigned to WESTFIELD.

[/b]Sending Oak Hill to KAA does drastically reduce Chantilly.  But, the School Board keeps telling us that Chantilly is drastically overcrowded.  This would bring Chantilly to around 2500--still one of the largest schools in FCPS.  And the Oak Hill kids they were proposing to send to Oakton would be put on a 40 minute bus ride.

I think KAA will be Coates, McNair, Floris, Oak Hill--and possibly, Crossfield.

WRONG!! Most of Oak Hill lives in Chantilly Highlands and they are zoned to Oak Hill - Franklin - Chantilly. HOWEVER there is also an entire neighborhood that is zoned to Oak Hill - Carson - Westfield. Hello!!! Have you not been following this thread. Emerald Chase ring a bell??

Also the PP who was thinking about Oak Hill kids who go to Oakton were getting current zones confused with proposed ones. Under one proposal, a small portion of Chantilly Highlands (behind the Franklin Farm shopping center) would go to Oakton. Nobody from Oak Hill goes there now, though.
