[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks to me like Arlington has all crap middle schools now, whether you live in north or south. Look at the ratings. I'll be selling and moving to Fairfax by the time my kids are in middle school. [/quote]

Williamsburg will get an 8 after all the poors move to Stratford.  Wouldn't that make you happy?[/quote]

Why do you think APS is suddenly pursuing rapid resegregation? This is precisely what the people who pull the purse strings want. [/quote]

Despite what you keep posting, they are not pursuing "rapid resegregation".  They have a severe overcrowding problem, and the smallest county in the nation doesn't have any extra space.  There were very few viable options for a new middle school -- it was always going to be reconverting Stratford back to a regular middle school.  It was where it was. Once that was decided, then you get into all the proximity discussions they're having now.  The racial imbalance has to do with broader zoning issues that a middle school boundary process cannot fix.

+1. For every supposed example of outrageous decision-making in the current map, there has been a rational alternative explanation as well. I think it really boils down to people having a hard time coping with the idea of not getting their way all the time. [/quote]

Or it has something to do with the actual outcome on the student population. The intent may be to walk but if the outcome makes schools majority white, predominantly black,  and majority Hispanic there is a problem. Devos and company will not be in place long enough to protect APS.[/quote]

You don't understand the law in this area at all.[/quote]
