[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do kids automatically get assigned a bus in high school just like elementary / middle school? Anyone have rough numbers for what percentage of 9th graders ride the bus? [/quote]

If they are in a bus zone, yes they are automatically assigned to a bus route.
No idea what %age of any grade rides a bus; but likely more freshmen and gradually fewer in each successive grade as students get driver's licenses etc. But I'm guessing mommy and daddy don't drive freshmen so much anymore....[/quote]

There are tons of parent drop offs at our school.  The bus zone is not based upon walking route, but as the crow flies. No one in our neighborhood gets bus service and no one walks. “Mommy and daddy” drive plenty of kids through junior year. [/quote]

The question is about kids in bus zones getting assigned to the bus routes automatically, not about kids who are deemed in the walk zone getting driven to school. I would suspect that mommy and daddy don't drive their high schoolers so much in general, but especially if they are able to take a bus....unless they need to bring their tuba or cello which aren't allowed on APS buses, or are coming to school early for a practice or late from a medical appointment, etc.
