[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know 3 families that bought into Key b/c they wanted guaranteed admission to ASFS.  They didn't want anything to do with immersion, but knew the only way to get into the "choice" school was to buy in Key.[/quote]

This makes sense, though, because most applicants from the team schools are accepted to Key, which means it is largely unnecessary to live within its immediate boundaries.  ASF has crowding issues and admits very few students from outside the actual boundaries.  If you want guaranteed admission to ASF, you pretty much have to move within the boundary.  To each his own.[/quote]

It NEVER was a [i]'choice'[/i] school like ATS.  It has always been a '[b]TEAM[/b] school along with Taylor and Jamestown.  There is a big difference.[/quote]

There is no movement between the teams anymore (or very little) because now the in-boundary kids for all 3 schools fill the spots.  10 years ago if you were in any one of the team zones you could choose any one of the three schools.

God- it bugs me when people keep repeating this false info. Key/ASFS are neighborhood first and foremost.  They only take outside the zone when there is space permitting.  There is no 'boundary' for ATS--it is a county-wide school.  you can't buy anywhere and get guaranteed admission to 'ATS' you have to lottery.[/quote]
