[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it is not crossfield issue then, it is Franklin Farm issue.

Franklin Farm does not need to persuade anybody else that they want to go to KAA because of a shorter commute.

Franklin farm just needs to figure out what your whole community needs.[/quote]

I'm a Franklin Farm resident. My neighbors need to get a grip. Western HS/KAA is going to be a dream school.

The only thing that might be crappy is for elite athletes who could be Varsity starters all four years of high school but who might not have access to Varsity-level sports at the new school in the first year or two.

Otherwise, it's a dream! New schools often draw top talent with regard to teachers and admin, the resources (e.g., robotics lab, ceramics lab, pool, and auditorium) available are top-tier, and the commute is significantly less scary for a teen driver.

Oakton has been great, as has Chantilly for the other side of Franklin Farm. I'm sure Western/KAA will be just as good.[/quote]

Academy-wise, the best Western HS could do is perform close to Chantilly.  I don't see Western HS coming out of the gate (next 10 years) and getting even close to Oakton level.  There is no incentive for Oakton people to leave an excellent school and go to an unknown.

I see there are gains from quality of education for Fox Mills moving to Western HS.  Let's go Option B.

Why do you feel you are deserving of some sort of incentive? This is a public school district. Boundary lines ought to be drawn in the way that is most practical. Where do you get the idea that your preferences should be a major factor? This is the entitlement people are talking about.

Why do people expect private school level of catering in a public district? This area is really awful about this. I prefer where I grew up where anyone who didn't like the public option just sucked it up and paid for private. Much less whining. Everyone got what they wanted because they researched the best option and paid for it. [/quote]

You think the public schools will improve when the families that can afford it go private? Such a naive little sprout.[/quote]
