[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So they balanced FARMS among Oakridge, Fleet and Hoffman-Boston and then threw up their hands for Randolph and Drew?[/quote]

I don't know the Drew area well but there really isn't anything they can do about Randolph given county housing policy.  The area right around Randolph is crammed full of low-income housing. They can fill the school completely just from that small boundary around it.  The only way to make that school not massively low-income would be to make it an option school.[/quote]

DP. The above is my understanding about the Randolph zone based on reading this board. I do know the Drew area though, and it has a small walk zone because of Glebe and Walter Reed and I think Four Mile Run. I don't think any of those can be crossed by elementary students. Drew has to be filled by bus riders. I posted slightly upthread what I thought the solution could be to alleviate Drew's fr/l rate, using PUs that can't walk to any school. Silly me, I thought after the MS boundary re-do that walking was top priority.[/quote]
