[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ashlawn will not sweep into Barcroft. Why would it when Barrett is just across 50? Some families in Barcroft are closer to Barrett than Barcroft elementary.[/quote] If Barrett isn't going to be an option site (which it's not), they're not going to break it up just to bus kids across 50. Barrett is highly walkable (80%), and high FARMS (62%). Why would you put so many walkers on buses just to move Barcroft kids from one high-FARMS school to another? Ashlawn, at 37% walkers and 19% FARMS, doesn't have this issue so it makes more sense as the school to stretch across 50. The reason for the dog-leg is to avoid only taking the most affluent areas of Glen Carlyn across 50 to Ashlawn but instead to pick up more of the lower-income stretches east of there that are driving up FARMS rates and create better FARMS balance across the SW zone.[/quote]
