[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get Montessori in PreK. Our family actually attended a satellite school at APS, and the program was really good. But in elementary? I've never heard of those fantastic academic outcomes of their students like you do for ATS and even immersion. And then most of the school goes to their neighborhood middle school. Why does this method need a whole pipeline and a shiny new school?

Who's doing it besides S. Arlington parents who want to escape their neighborhood schools? How many N. Arlington parents partake? Are they ATS lottery losers who just need to say their kids go to an "option school"? I'd like to see that data.[/quote]

You will probably find the transfer report interesting. [/quote]

So...
69.72% of Montessori comes from South Arlington.
86% of Campbell comes from South Arlington.
Immersion programs are generally split N/S; so that shows 50/50 participation.
ATS is 49.75% South Arlington; so again a 50/50 participation from north and south.

Less than half of HB come from 3 middle schools serving south Arlington, two of which also serve north arlington. (So favors north)
For high school HB, less than one-third come from Wakefield (28%). So 72% come from north Arlington. (favors north)
Even for W-L, 83 more transfer from YHS than from WHS. (favors north)
And 60% of Career Center, which I assume is (primarily?) Arlington Tech, come from WL and YHS. That's a straight lottery, yes? If so, favors north. Or is it "x" number of seats per school?

So what does that actually say?

This isn't your point, but I'd like to understand how BOTH Key and Claremont have kids from Abingdon, Fleet, Arlington Science Focus, Ashlawn, Barcroft, Barrett, Cardinal, Carling Springs, Drew, Hoffman Boston, Innovation, Long Branch, Oakridge, and Randolph.  [/quote]

I don't know exactly now; but I know in the past there have been "transfers" due to space availability. I'm sure it's more complex than that, however.[/quote]
