[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, APS doesn’t need high school seats. It does need middle school seats. You are “solving” a non-existent problem. [/quote]
The problem is the unfairness and segregation of HB.  It doesn't make sense in a public system.[/quote]

If you're worried about segregration, you should be a lot more worried about the neighborhood schools.

But that's not your issue is it - you just want to find a reason to hate on HB. Just because your kid didn't get in doesn't mean it's not fair. [/quote]

I love how HB parents keep complaining about the demographics of neighborhood schools, when HB is literally the least diverse and most white school[/quote]

No it's not. [/quote]

Yes it is, as well as lowest FARMS secondary school

ure, it may have more students of color than lily white Jamestown, but HBW has few POC than Yorktown.

The FARMS ratio is the real cherry on top,

Not sure where you got this, but it's either inaccurate, outdated, or both.

Here are enrollment numbers, which are on the APS website, and don't match at all with what you wrote (even for the 2022-2023 school year)
https://www.apsva.us/statistics/enrollment/

Here are race/ethnicity stats (the most recent one is from the year you quoted, but is completely different from your numbers):

Wow, I followed your link and you are totally right. Other middle and high schools have higher numbers of white kids and lower minorities than HB, and Williamsburg MS has a much lower percentage of kids receiving free lunch.  So I guess troll just lied to make their numbers story better?  Or doesn’t know how to pull the right stats?  Which fits into the rest of their general APS incompetence. I won’t be responding to this troll anymore, not worth the time. [/quote]
It's a country-side option program that is significantly less diverse than the county.  Neighborhood schools have walk zones and busing costs that hinder making them more diverse.  What's HB's excuse?  I can't think of a reason for it to be so extremely out of balance with the county averages.[/quote]ack, autocorrect.  *county-wide, not country-side[/quote]
