Focusing on the PUs with no walkers, I think you take the Abingdon-Kenmore units and send them to Barcroft or Randolph, put more of eastern Barcroft to Fleet, and put the south-of-pike Fleet units to Drew. It's not great for Barcroft but my math suggests doing it that way would have both Barcroft and Drew in the 60s for fr/l rate, vs. in the 40s for Barcroft and over 80 for Drew under the current proposal.[/quote]

I don't think that works.   I only see 1 Eastern Barcroft planning unit that is not in the walkzone (37050)  It has about 50 kids- 18 of which are FARMS.  
So under that theory Barcroft could pick up about 1/3 of Columbia Heights.  In terms of putting Columbia Heights at Randolph- randolph currently only has 2 non walkking PU's.  38050 and 38100.  Its a total of about 33 kids- of which 31 are FARMS? (I think there is a DATA problem with 38050 b/c it reflects a higher number of FARMS students than total students).   Either way if you figure out a way to move out those two units from Randoph- which would probably mean sending them to Drew, you still don't have any seats for Columbia Heights even split between Randolph and Barcroft.   
Drew is getting Columbia Heights b/c of the walkzone issue.   You are going to have to move at least one PU that is in a walkzone in order to send Columbia Heights anywhere other than Drew.  [/quote]

You're saying Columbia Heights, but I think we are talking about Columbia Forest. I have no opinion on where 38050 and 38100 should go. If they're currently Randolph, maybe they should stay there. I think 37040 and 37050 are both outside Barcroft's walk zone and could go to Fleet. This would make room for Barcroft to take Columbia Forest (i.e., units currently zoned Abingdon that feed into Kenmore).

There are many PUs that have 2017 FARMS students greater than 2019 projections. I guess APS thinks all those kids are 5th graders with no younger sibs or neighbors. [/quote]

Oh I see, 38050 and 38100 were that weird corner that used to be zoned Hoffman-Boston on the other side of Drew. Misunderstood you. [/quote]

Yes 38050 and 38100 are new to Randolph.  [/quote]
