[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is how the June Newsletter that Moon just sent out describes Crossfield:
[quote]Originally opened in 1988, Crossfield Elementary has long served generations of students and families in the Herndon and Reston communities.[/quote]
So why again are they still going to high school in Oakton, the 5th closest high school to them?[/quote]

Quoted from their website, which describes why 🤦🏻‍♀️

“Our kids are not just numbers. 
They are future graduates, athletes, artists, and leaders whose success depends on stability and support. 
They are part of a living, growing community — one that deserves consistency, care, and a voice in decisions that shape their future.”[/quote]

They are so full of shit. -Crossfield parent who would rather go to the closer school.[/quote]

Regardless of language on websites, let's be honest with ourselves: Proximity does not ALWAYS equal quality.

As a parent of an 8th grader at Carson, let me give you a preview of what Skyview will be like. It's going to look similar to the direction that Carson has been moving in for the past year. You'll have about a third of the kids there who are really committed to their studies and want to excel academically and participate in extracurriculars. Wonderful! The remaining student body will be bringing knives to school and reselling things they stole from Walmart. (No, these are not hypothetical happenings: These are two very real occurrences that happen at least once a month now at Carson. And this kind of activity has only gotten worse in the past 2 years.)

So ... sure. If that's the environment you want your child in for HS, go for it. Yes, ALL schools have unique challenges and none are immune from problems. And I have no doubt that Skyview will hire great staff. But be careful what you wish for when your top priority is attending the "closer school." [/quote]

Ah, I see you're the Crossfield mom who has been peddling these stories around the neighborhood. I have a middle schooler in general ed classes (no, not even honors, just general ed) who has not seen any of this. Yes, there have been a few fights this year, no, my child hasn't been exposed to them. Our friends who have kids at Franklin have also told us about fights and hate "crimes" over the past several years. What you are talking about happens everywhere, even at your precious Oakton.[/quote]
