This has been explained ad nauseum. :roll:
1. There is not a need for another middle school. There is capacity availability in existing middle schools.
2. Despite the feelings of the RIO crowd, Oakton-bound students are not any more special than any other students in FCPS. That seems to be a difficult concept for the RIO group in particular.
Why would RIO want a new middle school? They might be moving in a few months and that school won’t help their case as it wouldn’t be built for years. This was pitched by a mom in the now deleted Oakton MS thread from Waples Mill. Regardless, most people in the pyramid are happy with their current MS, no one wants to drive further.
RIO does not want a new middle school. They want their kids to go to Franklin with the other Oakton-bound kids from Navy and Waples. If they keep Crossfield at Oakton, that does make sense. I've heard from multiple friends that their kids hated being torn apart from their Carson friends - they ALL went to different high schools. Personally I prefer Crossfield to stay at Carson and go to Western. I would be really disappointed if my younger kids don't get to Carson.

Not sure what this means…I sent my child to a split feeder for the same reason you did/are - our pyramid doesn’t have a dedicated MS and doesn’t need one.

I am a Waples Mill mom who finds the commute to Franklin challenging. We are the largest contributor to Oakton in terms of Students going into it!
I have spoken to Oakton Bound Navy ES Moms (excluding those in Franklin Farm), Oakton ES Moms (those not zoned to Madison), Mosaic ES Moms, and Marshall Road Moms (those not zoned for Madison) who I have gotten to see my point, and they agree.
Those Thoreau Zoned Moms have a 10 years remorse for invading Thoreau and cutting into the sanctity of Vienna, and the other Franklin Moms hate it there!
We reject the Crossfield and Navy Island Moms because we find them illegitimate since they live in Herndon, and we don’t need them to be successful as a high school pyramid.
They can move!
If this isn’t a troll, this has to be the craziest post I’ve seen in awhile
I am one of these Mosaic Mothers who lives right next to Oakton, and I believe that while we are closer to Thoreau, we do need our own middle school.
We are different from the Madison/Marshall community at Thoreau, and Oakton ES parents in the Oakton pyramid long agree with this.
So when we met with Waples Mill parents who felt isolated from the rest of franklin, and slightly more aligned with us, and some Navy parents (ones not in Franklin Farm of Chantilly Bound), we learned that Franklin does not bother them entirely, but that having an Oakton exclusive middle school would be a luxury.
Then we showed them why it was necessary, and they got on board.
So what do you do if Crossfield and the Navy Island isn’t moved? Now that your co-organizer has provided her thoughts.

Let’s try this again…none of us who live close to Oakton HS wants to go to a MS all the way out by Waples Mill to make it more convenient for you. Also, navy kids live in Fairfax and Herndon too. I’m in Vienna and so is our school so not sure what sort of crazy points you’re trying to make from your high horse like this is an “Oakton” only school.

They see your point and agree with you about a completely ridiculous fantasy that has ZERO logic behind it?
Those Thoreau Zoned Moms have a 10 years remorse for invading Thoreau and cutting into the sanctity of Vienna, and the other Franklin Moms hate it there!
What are you rambling about? This statement is such a jumbled mess that your point, if you have one, is lost.
My friend and neighbor group has never said anything negative about Franklin, so saying Franklin moms hate it there is an unfair generalization. Maybe your friend group is unhappy, but maybe you only attract other narrow-minded malcontents, so your statements are based in fantasy not reality.

Illegitimate? Are you for real?

Start a petition then for your MS but those of us outside of the pyramid are tired of hearing about it. It sounds like you’d be better off at Chantilly or Fairfax, it’s closer to where you live anyways.

Why is this so difficult for adults to comprehend? It's mind-numbing how obtuse some of you are.
For those in the back:
There isn't a need for a new middle school.
It is as simple as that. FCPS doesn't need another middle school.
Again, there is no need for an Oakton Middle School.
In case that still isn't clear, FCPS doesn't need an Oakton Middle School.
