[quote=Anonymous][quote]And therefore Barcroft follows cohorts all the way through - there are units that go ES to MS to HS with the Barcroft neighborhood (which is a fairly sizeable population of students on its own, BTW). And Barcroft and Alcova are already in the same situation matriculating to HS (except the Barcroft cohort is probably larger than the Alcova cohort); but Barcroft has the advantage by far when matriculating to MS.

I just don't see why Barcroft is even in this conversation.

Sounds to me someone from Barcroft is advocating to be redistricted to WL.

OP here. I wasn't advocating anything (although other posters are) - I just looked at a map and can do basic math.  WL is gaining about 500 seats and they want some of them to be filled via redistricting (but probably not all).  If you look at a map the 4 neighborhoods listed - Barcroft, Alcova, Penrose, AH - are the only ones with proximity to WL to make it work.  There are probably too many kids in all 4 neighborhoods to move all of them together to WL so it seems like they'd maybe move 2.  Geographically it makes sense to either move the western or the eastern 2.  I suppose they could move Penrose and Barcroft and leave AH and Alcova in Wakefield (or vice versa) but that seems like weird choice to me. They could theoretically only move 1 neighborhood. Maybe just Penrose/Foxcraft Heights or just Barcroft?

I don't think it will only be the units they rezoned a few years ago (half of Penrose & FoxHeights) because that wasn't alot of kids.

Since both Kenmore and TJ feed to both high schools I don't think they are going to worry to much about alignment. They've also been willing to totally isolate families during the past few re-zones so I don't think its a high concern to them. [/quote]
