[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guessing that Innovation will end up as a solid above-average school.  If it’s true that LV houses zoned for Innovation are sitting longer …. we’ll, that’s just classic.[/quote]

C’mon. There is a ton of talk about how Innovation could be one of the highest FARMS rates in the county, definitely NA. Diversity is great, but a high need Title 1 school gives people pause in a shrinking school budget environment. Programs and resources are limited, and rightfully they will not neglect the high need kid, but your bright at grade level kid will just coast thru with little attention. [/quote]

Highest FARMS rate why?  New affordable housing in Rosslyn?[/quote]

Partly yes. But basically ASFS was 20% FARMS and it mostly came from the now Innovation boundary. So if you half the school size, it’s at least 40% FARMS right there before the Queens affordable housing build.

On top of that, with pandemic, likely many families of means have moved out of townhouses and apartments since commutes don’t matter and space is way more valued.

I think a 50% FARMS rate is easily in the cards.  Either way almost certainly Title 1, which will drag down housing values. [/quote]

They intentionally left Woodbury Park at ASFS to help balance the FARMS rate, so that should be a wash with Queen's Court. New developments will have an impact, though. Longer term probably 40-50%. [/quote]

This is what I concluded too -  Woodbury Park is a very large development with a LOT of kids.[/quote]
