[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is my suggestion for Emerald Chase:

1. Lobby to stay at Oak Hill along with the Franklin Farm/Navy Island kids being sent there.  There is room, I think according to the slides.
2. Go to Franklin along with the Navy Island.  Again, I think there is room.
3. Lobby to go to Oakton along with the Navy Island.  Chantilly is a non-starter.

I disagree with this gambit. If you want to attend Oakton HS pony up the cash to buy a house in Oakton. I don’t want to be fighting five years from now to keep my Oakton address home zoned to Oakton HS to accommodate “zone stability” for the Emerald Chase vultures. [/quote]

Just because your town name is Oakton and the high school name is Oakton doesn't make it your community high school. Ask all the children all over FCPS who live much closer to one high school and go to a different one. The name doesn't matter, you can't use it as an excuse. [/quote]

This is the silliest post.

Of course, if you live in Oakton you should attend the Oakton neighborhood high school.  If you live in Lorton you should attend the Lorton neighborhood high school.  If you live in Falls Church, you should attend the Falls Church neighborhood high school.   It really is that simple.

At a minimum, students should be zoned for the high school that shares their home zip code, with all boundary tweaks limited to neighborhoods with zip codes outside of the immediate high school zip code.[/quote]

Sounds like you are making the case for all the homes with a Herndon address and zip code to attend Herndon High School and not Langley. [/quote]

I don't know anything about or know anyone from that part of the county, but sure.

If the house has the exact same zip code as the high school, they should be zoned for that high school. [/quote]
I live in Franklin Farm. That means my child should go to Franklin Middle School, mot Carson because they both have Franklin in the name and Franklin Middle School is across the street from our neighborhood. Fix that please, Oakton parent.[/quote]
