[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS should have Chinese immersion not 2 Spanish immersion schools.

Drew can’t be fixed by getting rid of option schools.  Even though there were complaints in the past  many in the Drew zone still chose/ opted for Montessori and HB. Drew has such high poverty and ESL, community center attached, partying/ trash/shootings in lot, huge CAF scheduled for across the street!  It’s sad and it’s not right but Fairlington fought hard to stay at Abington. Majority of Douglas Park and Columbia Heights walked with their feet to private or opt out.

Even if it were a great school, it’s still not a neighborhood school for Douglas Park and Columbia Heights or South Fairlington. It’s not just busy streets that need to be crossed. The walk to Henry, Fleet, even Hoffman Boston is very different than getting to Drew.

Even this thread quickly derailed into talking about other things.  MONA wringing their hands about red lining and segregation can’t save this school. [/quote]
South Fairlington isn’t guaranteed to stay at Abingdon this time. They are restarting the process just for those 2 schools. [/quote]

It will be interesting to see if South Fairlington uses the shooting as a reason not be be redistricted.  The shooting combined with the principal leaving is bad.[/quote]

Criminal activity is not one of the guiding principles in the boundary process.  It's not a reason to be excused from being assigned to a school.[/quote]
I’m sure they’ll try[/quote]
