[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, APS doesn’t need high school seats. It does need middle school seats. You are “solving” a non-existent problem. [/quote]
The problem is the unfairness and segregation of HB.  It doesn't make sense in a public system.[/quote]

[b]If you're worried about segregration, you should be a lot more worried about the neighborhood schools. [/b]

But that's not your issue is it - you just want to find a reason to hate on HB. Just because your kid didn't get in doesn't mean it's not fair. [/quote]
HB's stats on this are worse than any neighborhood HS, including Yorktown.

And I really don't hate HB or options, so you can stop accusing me of that.  I just think HB needs a refresh.  I'm not suggesting closing it or making it a neighborhood school.  It would still be a smaller APS option school in the same location.  [/quote]

Pretty rich that someone who knows nothing about a successful program decides it needs a refresh. Why don't you focus on a refresh of your own kid's school? Where does YOUR kid go? Let's have that conversation. [/quote]
Meh, I know a bunch of super, super disappointed parents who didn't get their kid in for middle school who would love a shot at a high school spot.

Pretty rich of you to say your kid deserves 7 years of a special school while other kids don't ever get the option.[/quote]

Every kid in APS gets the option to apply. The seats are allocated across all of the elementary schools by population. There is another open lottery at 9th grade. It literally could not be more fair. My kid didn't get in, and I thought, "oh well" and went about my day sending my kid to school for their free public education. [/quote]
