[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a school has AP, what are the other reasons people use for transfer?

Does the list perfectly matchup with FARMs percentiles?[/quote]

Could be for a foreign language or Academy program, could be a family with a senior that moved but wants to finish at their old school, might be a placement to a new school after a disciplinary incident - there are other reasons besides pupil placing for AP or IB.

The second list doesn't perfectly match up with FARMS percentages.  The number of kids transferring also gets affected by other factors, such as whether schools are open or closed to transfers and how people perceive the transfer options relative to their assigned school.  [/quote]

It doesn't perfectly line up with farms, but the poor schools have the most transfers out and the rich schools have the fewest [/quote]

Correct, in the sense that if you look at the 10 schools with the most transfers excluding TJ, only two would not be considered high FARMS (Westfield and Robinson) and if you look at the 10 with the fewest transfers excluding TJ, only one is considered high FARMS (Edison).

In Westfield's case, the total #s may get skewed by the fact that it's a big school.  In Robinson's case, you have a lot of kids who did AAP at Lake Braddock in middle school and want to stay there for high school.  Edison sends a few dozen kids to Hayfield, but otherwise doesn't send a lot of kids to other schools (and receives more kids from each of Hayfield and Lewis than it sends to Hayfield).  [/quote]

Westfield to South Lakes looks like IB transfers. Robinson is probably placing kids out for APs, would be my guess.[/quote]
