[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, though. If they started an ATS for middle school, they’d have a long waitlist of kids willing to schlep to Williamsburg for a program-within-a-school like Immersion and Montessori are.[/quote]

Don't you realize the typical ATS family is drawn to HBW for ms? [/quote]

OP here - so open another HB! We are almost back to the point of having an abundance of seats like back when the options first started, so let’s get creative again and give more people what they want rather than just rearrange deck chairs. [/quote]

There is no abundance of seats; Gunston  is overcrowded.  [/quote]

[b]South Arl Families already make up the bulk of kids at ATS. [/b] Williamsburg is right around the corner.  They’d go on there and reduce future overcrowding at gunston. [/quote]

that true?[/quote]

8 from Jamestown.

Barcroft 44

Discount Barrett, McKinely, Ashlawn, and Glebe because of geographic bias (those zones have some homes closer to old HTS site then zoned school)

This probably includes kids coming in through VPI. The Barcroft zone has a lot of kids who are eligible through that pathway. Barcroft only gets like 2 K spots (outside of VPI) in the lottery.  Jamestown has no VPI eligible students, so that probably accounts to some degree for the discrepancy.[/quote]
