You can crunch the numbers...but it depends on if APS decides to concentrate FARMs at one school and what % of MC/UMC option out (or go Catholic).

I have looked at the numbers, and I’m not seeing a realistic scenario where neighborhood Key is Title I. This feels like a scare tactic from the Keep Key on Key and Save McKinley folks to avoid having any schools move.

Okay...so if Neighborhood Key isn't Title I...it will be pretty close and without the extra resources (past the tipping point) You do you.

They will receive Title I funding, class sizes will be limited to Title I limits, and the community and PTA will still be there to provide the supportive services families currently receive. The current Key PTA, with its 39% FRL population, has a healthy budget - far healthier than our 60%+ schools. The wealth in the area surpasses the wealth in the 60+ FRL schools.

What you don't seem to understand is that the New Key will be the ASFS and Key leftovers (who don't have a way out). These families will be fine - but the involved parents and the ones who make the big donations will be outta there (kind of like all of the UMC/MC parents who option out of SA schools).

Option out how? ATS? Immersion?

Looking back for a moment, is it possible that ASFS oppose the swap (in part) because, looking down the road, people recognized that whatever school would be sited at the Key location would have a high FARMs rate?

I never really thought of that - today these involved families stay because they are getting something "special" like "Science" or "Immersion" once the carrots are gone they will look for greener pastures.

Bingo - you are starting to get it. Using carrots help spread FARMS, MC, UMC...organically works. Now APS and the SB are getting the stick out - and the end result will be concentrating FARMS at Key - and any PU that can get out will scream loud. Similar to what we saw with Drew in South Arlington (but not as extreme).

I think you are underestimating the appeal of the location to people who have shown a willingness to live in condos and townhouses to be walkable to metro and close to the city.

Key is currently a GreatSchools 9 and ASFS is an 8. When young families are moving out of DC to Arlington do you think they might be concerned when(if) Key becomes a Great Schools 4, 5 or 6? Subsidized housing is very appealing and expanding in that area as well (walkable to metro and close to the city).

Looks like Key is currently a Great Schools 5. It’s in Arlington, Virginia.

Easy to ignore 3 outlier kids who came in knowing the grade level standards which is what happened at our SA school. Yes, they occasionally got more challenging stuff. But in our NA school they have a whole cohort (1/3 of grade?) that operates beyond the grade level. Kids above grade level or just kids not struggling get a better education in NA. Most SA schools are “fine” for academics. No one will get ignored or lost. But hard to get a lot of help in excelling because there are many more needs, academic and otherwise. That’s just the reality. Many smart kids if all incomes. Not enough resources to “Personalize” learning for high achievers. People will say it was great for their kid, etc. I can bet most of those never had a chance to compare to NA equivalent. Maybe the difference doesn’t matter to some. It mattered To us.

I get it. I'm just sick of everyone making derogatory comments like their life would be over if their kid had to be in one. We know they're not the same; we don't need to constantly be reminded of it in rude, derogatory ways. Despite the differences, some of the teachers are the best and I'd put them up against north arlington teachers who don't have to/don't know how/can't handle the classrooms these teachers have to manage.

75% of DCUM posts are parents fearful their kids will have to attend a public school with poor brown kids

Only weak minded individuals without a coherent point to make use the term “brown kids” and invent statistics.

Few Arlington parents care about skin color. They care about schools that can maximize the resources that are funneled to their own kids. Period.

DP. Resource hoarding and bubble living, no?

Ooopss you are so right! So the neighborhood school (ASFS) would drop from an 8 to who knows what.

The majority of the current ASFS will move together to Key. It will be a great school. If you notice, they haven’t been screaming. They are trying to prepare for their school to be split up - regardless of scenario - and how to take care of their students and families.

So now they’re saying Key should stay option because it would help too many poor people? Seriously, it’s time to sit down.

Won’t the “new” asfs become less diverse?

Possibly but it will still be more diverse than many schools in NA. And they desperately need more seats. ASFS had 6 kindergartens this year and likely will need 7 next year. They have no where else to put kids and no more space for trailers. There is no room to shuffle kids south or west due to overcrowding at other schools.

The PTA at ASFS is trying to help with a smooth transition if a move happens. I could see that they help make two thriving school communities that prove great support structures for two new school communities.

(My kids don’t go to ASFS but we know people there.)

Someone seems to put a lot of value and credibility in Great schools ratings. That someone really needs to move on.

We'll see once they actually have to move and they've spent all that money on playground equipment and fundraising for a track,
