[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at Campbell. This might be sacrilege but I’m not sure there’s any magic to it. (We came from a North Arlington school because the outdoor and experiential learning sounded good.) I do wonder if it’s mostly just a school for South Arlington families to escape to if they don’t like their zoned school.[/quote]

Cool story. But this isn’t where we have a ridiculous surplus of seats, nor is it a program that is trying to expand and use a large portion of the APS budget to do so. It’s not really relevant to this discussion. Thanks anyway, since I guess you can just go back to your neighborhood school if it’s not what you were hoping for. [/quote]

DP. It may not be relevant to the point you want to focus on. But it is certainly relevant to the discussion of what schools/programs should be closed/discontinued. The crowding is in SA, so perhaps eliminating an option program in SA would be a relevant consideration. And weighing the value of a particular option school is relevant. And it is clearly relevant to the questions and comments posed by previous posters whether option schools are mainly an escape valve for south arlington families or catering to wealthier white families.[/quote]
