[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right now, buy into or at least rent in the KEY district.  That gives you guaranteed admissions.  They are supposedly some slots (if Key doesn't fill the grade) for Taylor or Jamestown, but those are like unicorns.  Watch out, though.  The SB might be making a lot of changes to that area.[/quote]

The boundary for ASFS is about to be radically changed -- there is No way to know if you will be in bound (currently living near it is not in boundary for example).

There is a [b]possibility that Key and ASFS will swap campuses [/b]since Key is becoming a pure lottery immersion, and then ASFS will be in boundary. Or they will redraw boundaries and some key parts will go elsewhere and some Taylor parts go to ASFS.

Buy a neighborhood you like, in a house you like near a few schools you are ok with. There are guarantees now. And watch the high school changes coming -- they could be disruptive. [/quote]

While this may very well happen, it would somewhat surprise me considering how much money the ASFS PTA and parents have invested in the building and its outdoor space over the years for various science-related teaching tools, including raising at least $150,000 less than two years ago for the science lab called investigation station.  Not saying Key, if the schools swap buildings, wouldn't benefit from all of this but it seems kind of crazy for ASFS to leave it all behind and have to start all over again without it.

I'm a former long time ASFS parent - do not move to a home just for this school.  Not worth it.[/quote]

Well, it is equipment in a publuc school, so it would be nice if others could have an opportunity to benefit from it.  But I highly doubt this switch will happen.  Both schools must probably feel like they are having the rug pulled out from under them.[/quote]
