[quote=Anonymous]The alcova heights and neighborhoods east are some of the wealthiest in south Arlington. Many in those neighborhoods do not want another school that is more than half FARMs. Many alcova heights parents already choice out of Barcroft, as do parents who live in single family homes in Barcroft. I guarantee at the boundary process parents will scream if the new school has a higher Farms rate than the current Henry. And I don't blame them, Henry is about 30-40% Farms, which is percentage that seems to work. Farms kids at Henry have almost no achievement gap, at least per the sol scores. If it gets too high, like at Barcroft and randolph, everyone's scores go down.

Now, no way to get any of the barcroft area apartments zoned for the new school. Only about 100 new seats will be available at new school, and many will go to the new AH planned at the church, and parents who will not choice out as they do currently zoned for Barcroft.

Besides, at least one of the school board candidates seems perfectly happy to keep high farms schools the way they are.[/quote]
