[quote=Anonymous]One way Oakridge "dealt" with its overcrowding situation was by not complaining at all when APS re-zoned all of Pentagon City (multi-family residences, at least) to Hoffman-Boston during the most recent South Arlington ES zone shake up 2 autumns ago, taking them from 770 kids down to 531 (K-5). Hoffman-Boston is 45% Free/Reduced Lunch. We know a few families with kids there. They say it's like a United Nations there - every race/ethnicity group is somewhere in the 20's in terms of percentage. They love the principal and seem to be having a good experience there. The one family we know who didn't like the place has college-aged kids now. Oakridge is 21% FRL. We've heard nothing but strange stories about the current principal, but we know several families who've had a great experience there regardless. A former Arlington-wide teacher of the year who used to work at Oakridge, now works at Hoffman-Boston, FWIW.[/quote]
