That is actually not true.
You do not live within Oakton boundary, that is why you spread misinformation.
Why do you want to move other people's kids?
Why do you drive a wedge among Oakton parents?
Why do you drive a wedge between Oakton and Chantilly & Centreville parents?
I've come up with a new game: Guess the parent!!
This one above lives within Crossfield boundaries but has a child at Navy for AAP.
Dp
If true why would that make their concerns any less valid?
Personally I wish they never bought KAA for all the discord it's brought.

For this boundary study, we have six high schools and six middle schools.
The future middle to high school pyramids are:
Carson – Skyview
Hughes – South Lakes
Rocky Run – Chantilly
Franklin – Oakton
Stone – Westfield
Liberty – Centreville
FCPS should try to match up each middle school’s boundary with its high school as much as possible to keep split feeders to a minimum. Obviously, perfect matching isn’t possible for every pair. Franklin is pretty far from Oakton, so it doesn’t make sense for them to have identical boundaries.
But Carson, Hughes, and Rocky Run are right next to or really close to their high schools. Those three should have very similar boundaries, ideally the same.
I know people have mentioned the capacity differences, but we’re not trying to make every school have exactly the same utilization. That’s not the goal. The target is staying in the 85%–105% range, and we can definitely give those three pairs nearly identical boundaries.
Under Scenario 3, Hughes and South Lakes already have the exact same boundary, and Carson/Skyview are almost the same. Rocky Run and Chantilly are a little different but still pretty close under Scenario 1.
For the fewest split feeders, I think FCPS should consider:
Fox Mill – Carson – Skyview
Oak Hill – Carson – Skyview
Crossfield – Franklin – Oakton
Lees Corner – Rocky Run – Chantilly

They should but now Navy Oakton kids are getting rezoned there because Franklin MS is suddenly getting an elementary school that hasn’t been there in years and has priority apparently when they could just stay at Carson. Proximity doesn’t matter to these folks (they’re willing to commute all the way out to Oakton) so explain to me why should they all get moved over to Franklin while Navy kids will be split to different middle schools?
Really. I agree that there is difficulty with avoiding a split feeder. If Crossfield stays at Carson, then Oak Hill will stay at Franklin. Oak Hill is pretty certain to go to Skyview.
Honestly, Oak Hill and Crossfield should be at Carson/Skyview. Put Fox Mill at Hughes when AAP centers are in every middle school.
I would set Skyview boundary. Adjust Westfield on the edges and leave it be for a year or two. Then, work on the middle schools, if needed.
Franklin has been a split feeder forever--at least thirty years--maybe more. It's not optimum, but it is only two years.
Hughes is already a Center and there is no space for Fox Mill. Fox Mill should be at Skyview. There are Fox Mill kids within a mile of Skyview. We share a boundary with Floris and go to Oak Hill for AAP. Carson is right next door and we attend Carson. And most of us want to attend Skyview.
Let Crossfield stay at Oakton since that is where they want to be. And yes, I think that there are more Crossfield families that want to stay at Oakton then want to move to Skyview. The families that want to attend Skyview can pupil place for the specialized programs. They should be able to get permission to pick up a bus int he Fox Mill area or one of the other close by spots.
Hughes is not overcrowded. No need to lie.
DP.
Hughes is at 95% now and would be overcrowded if Fox Mill gets moved. I doubt it will happen.
The following middle school feeding pattern is plausible and very clean:
Fox Mill - Carson - Skyview
Oak Hill - Carson - Skyview
Crossfield - Franklin - Oakton
This will minimize or eliminate the split feeding at Carson and help Franklin.
