Of all the schools, Barcroft is the only one that even has the demographics to be 50/50. Carlin Springs and Randolph just don’t have the kids from MC or UMC families to balance the amount of AH with kids. The numbers go down, but not much, especially Carlin Springs. The numbers just aren’t there for those two schools to be “balanced.”

Some of this also has to do with option school policy. If more kids gained access through VPI, the fr/l numbers might not be as high in the SA segregated neighborhood schools. Take more disadvantaged kids (give them the opportunity first), and take fewer SA MC kids. Maybe the option schools should be more like Campbell, with 50% of the seats reserved for kids who come in through VPI.

Interestingly enough- Carlin Springs was the one that LS called out in the webinar yesterday as the one where the FRL rate would substantially change if there were not option schools transfers.  Last year CS had 349 kids transfer out.  It had 638 students enrolled.  If you add those 349 kids back into the school, and assume none of them are farms- you get a FARMS rate of 48%.  Probably some of them are FARMS, but most are not.[/quote]
