[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New topic: I was just playing around in the tool and noticed that Scenarios 2 and 3 shift the kids who live in Fox Mill Woods (currently zoned to Crossfield - Hughes - South Lakes) back to Carson and Oakton, thus removing Crossfield as a split feeder. That was not in any of the slides that were presented. I know that a lot of people have posted on this board about how that neighborhood had a lot of drama when they were originally shifted from Oakton to South Lakes, and this change does make a lot of sense. I know that a lot of Crossfield families were very worried, so this is a relief. We want to stay in an AP school. [/quote]
Crossfield just finished a renovation and is projected at 83% capacity on the map tool.  They really should staff it as an AAP Level 4 now so that their kids don't have to go to Navy for AAP, and then the Waples kids could go there or to Navy for AAP instead of going out of pyramid all the way to Hunters Woods.  Wish Waples could have their own AAP but they don't have the room.
I know the school board never mentioned AAP or IB/AP as part of this review - probably to avoid answering all the people who don't want to move and would prefer to end pupil placements.  They really should.  There are many "split feeders" not addressed because of where kids have to go for AAP.[/quote]

I really don't understand why they are sending the Navy island in Franklin Farm to Oak Hill instead of Crossfield with the rest of Franklin Farm on that side of the parkway.  It makes no sense at all.[/quote]

It’s because Oak Hill has an AAP center like Navy has an AAP center. It’s more equitable. [/quote]

And those AAP centers need to be a thing of the past.  I hope they address that at some point.  AAP centers are the very definition of inequity at this point.
