[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So maybe then some of this choice schools shouldn't exist anymore. Aren't some of them a relic of a past era when Arlington needed to retain students rather than having too many? Aren't neighborhood schools what everyone wants now?[/quote] Your'e right, they did come out of a different era. But that doesn't make them undesirable now. Key & Claremont are both over capacity. There's a long wait list for ATS. I'm less sure about Campbell, but there seems to be interest there. Montessori hasn't moved into its own building yet, so have to wait and see how it performs at the Patrick Henry site. But there's clearly a demand for choice. And honestly, if you think about it - that's only 5 out of APS' 24 elementary schools. It doesn't help that the Board underestimated growth, or built too many schools in one section of the county. But there should be a way to balance out enrollment to meet most students' needs in a geographic area this small. [/quote]
