[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I doubt anyone living in Saratoga cares if you have any sympathy.   You can't fault people for advocating for their interests, and you'd probably be doing the same if you were in their shoes.   Personally, I agree with the sentiment of trying to improve Lee rather figuring out how to flee - I think this AP/IB transfer nonsense should stop.  But, I can also understand the perspective of some people that it's a lost cause and better to petition for change of some sort.  [/quote]

They picked their school zone when they bought their house.

I could see tye argument of moving Garfield Elementary (very high ESL/title 1) to another higher performing pyramid but to use the "concentration of poverty/esl) argument and try to apply it to Saratoga is completely wrong.[/quote]

Saratoga Elementary is also a Title 1 school, FYI. The effort to change district is not about high SES parents wanting to flee. It's about wanting geographic boundaries and political representation that makes sense for residents. Sure Saratoga Elementary includes the single-family "Saratoga" neighborhood, but it also includes a lot of townhouses and rental apartments, too. [/quote]

Sure it is.   :roll: [/quote]
