From the article:  APS planner Robert Ruiz isn’t sure that such a comparison is wholly appropriate, however. The figures APS staff are using in the boundary process represent the possible universe of students who are eligible to attend Drew by dint of living within its boundaries, but they could end up heading elsewhere. Meanwhile, the 51 percent figure Turner is pointing to is indicative of the students who actually attend Drew in practice, so it’s no guarantee that the change will be as drastic as the one Turner describes.

Of course they don't mention that two of the options for school choice are being shut down (no shared zone with Hoffman-Boston next year) or access reduced (no preferential admission to Montessori for Nauck.)  Now the options are lottery for choice schools, with the same chances as everyone else, or private for those that can afford it.  There will be a much higher percentage of boundary students attending Drew next year.

I'm not sure what your point is but the APS analysis is based on resident students. The figures published last Wednesday do not reflect Nauck residents who attend option schools, but it does include Nauck residents who currently attend Hoffman Boston; H-B is not an option school. And even with those students, the resident student farms rate is 83%. There will be no wave of MC students coming over from H-B to lower the Drew's FARMs rate. They've already been accounted for.[/quote]
