Get your facts straight.
You're an idiot. Look at the neighborhoods where people live, moron.
Is it really necessary to resort to this level of aggression? These Crossfield conversations are getting carried away.
Yes, I'm finding out that pro-Western Crossfield moms are as obnoxious as RIO moms.
Wasn't it the RIO mom who brought up crossing 286 during the "citizen participation" at the SB meeting? Also, said they would have to cross 50--which makes no sense at all.
And, of course, also using the fact that her kids were affected by the closures during COVID. And, kids in other schools weren't?

"RIO" = "Rooted in Oakton" (group of Oakton parents lobbying hard to stay out of Western HS).

A lot more obnoxious.

Why are you triggered?
I know exactly where they live. Crossfield families do not live closer to Western than the other neighborhood. On average, they’re the farthest.
Crossfield’s westernmost neighborhood is roughly as close as the others. But the eastern neighborhoods (east of Lawyer’s Rd) are farther than any other elementary schools. No Crossfield families live west of 286, and they all have to cross it to get to Western High.
How do they ever cross 286 to get to Carson on a daily basis? What a silly excuse.
I'd much rather have my child crossing 286 than turning on to 50 to drive on I66. Or, having to go on windy, hilly roads to cross onto Jermantown Rd. and cross Blake Lane.
What excuse?

What is your point? We cross it to get to Carson, we cross it to get to the grocery store, we cross it to get to the soccer fields, we use it to get just about anywhere. It's not like Fairfax County Parkway is a six lane highway without any stoplights. I just don't get this weird argument. Not to mention, you have to take 66 and cross Chain Bridge Rd to get to Oakton. OMG!!!
Nobody denies that Oakton is far. That's a fair point.
But on average, Crossfield kids live the farthest from Rachel Carson compared to kids from other elementary schools.
My reply was to someone who claimed "Most Crossfield neighborhoods are closer to Western than Coates and McNair, and many are closer than the eastern part of Fox Mill Estates," which is simply not true.

FCPS never dropped SPA counts except for these non Thru studies: Coates, Parklawn, and the older Kent Gardens. Coates borders Loudoun and is a logical feed from Westfield to Western. Logic removed any Crossfield from the Coates study but included Fox Mill which had over 30% of K-6 pre any transfers generated from households west of 286, Fairfax County Parkway.
Meren may not like that fact but could pick up the Westbriar Island assigned to Marshall in scenario 4. Also could get South Lakes replacements from some Madison and Langley in this cycle. Gibson populated South Lakes with a Madison Island years ago.
That would leave open more room for Tysons growth.
FACT: South Lakes is 100 below capacity.
FACT: Oakton is around 50 over capacity.

I've been thinking about winter driving for teens - the roads from my house to Carson/Western are the first to get salted and cleared if it snows. I'd rather my kids be on those roads than Vale/Waples/66.
