[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, let me get this right:

164 students transfer out of base school from an AP to an IB school.  I wonder how many of those 164 are FARMS?  Probably not many since they have to provide their own transportation.
Yet, the SB thinks the base school is losing enrollment and must redistribute other neighborhoods there to  make up for the loss in enrollment.

Does this make sense?

I think there is only one IB school that has a very large number transferring from one other school.

Am I the only one who thinks something smells?

We are at Robinson, an IB school that does not have a large FARMS population.  I don't know the statistics, but I have some friends who transferred their kids in because they just didn't like their neighborhood school, and since Robinson is IB and almost always open to transfers, it was the only good option.  Their kids aren't even doing the diploma.  Their schools weren't "bad," (Fairfax, Woodson, LB) they just didn't like them for whatever reason.  I think one probably transferred for sports.  [/quote]
