[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted in another general boundary thread before saw this one specific to the exact 4 plans and my question is to map 4. Saw it has an odd cut out of Nestlewood Dr and Rounding Run Circle well into proposed new boundary for new school- so homes to left and right of those streets assigned to new school but those streets stay at Oakton. Why? Do vocal parents live there that don’t want to move and were accommodated or why the odd cut out? I thought I had read part of reason FCPS was doing new boundaries was to have entire neighborhoods going to same schools, no?

They don't go to Crossfield.  They go to Navy.  It's been that way for many, many years.

I was told --long ago--that when Crossfield opened, that area lobbied to stay at Oak Hill.  (there was no FFX County Parkway at that time.) Then, when Chantilly Highlands was built out, Oak Hill was too crowded and they were sent to Navy.  
I cannot verify this, but this was from a neighbor who lived here at that time.  I guess it is also possible that they were at Navy before Oak Hil was built.[/quote]

I grew up in this area and this is pretty much it.  Once Oak Hill was overcrowded, the county proposed moving the Tuckaway Dr area of Franklin Farm out of Crossfield to Navy and then move the Navy Island kids into Crossfield.  My parents and friends fought it because we had already been moved from Oak Hill to Crossfield when it opened.  So the county opted instead to move the island to Navy which is how we got here.

Isn’t crossfield now under-enrolled and Navy overenrolled?  Probably time to move that island back to crossfield.[/quote]

If there is space at Crossfield, it would def be the logical thing to do, especially if Crossfield ends up at Western.  It makes way more sense to put them at Crossfield than Oak Hill because you have the FFX Parkway as a boundary line. [/quote]
