[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would take into account that Barcroft is year-round, with breaks at different times of year than Randolph.  [u]That was a factor for me in not buying in Barcroft[/u].[/b]  (I liked the security of knowing there was a wide selection of camps during the traditional summer break.)

Any way you could find something feeding into Henry or Oakridge?  I feel like those two get significantly higher reviews, and they have a different demographic mix.  (I think both are around 1/3 caucasian, 1/3 hispanic, 1/3 other.)[/quote]

um... what?[/quote]

I could absolutely see not wanting to buy a home in a district zoned for a school with a non-traditional calendar (i.e. year-round school). Yes, it appeals to some, but not many.[/quote]

and APS understands that and you will go to Randolph instead.[/quote]

But they don't provide transportation to Randolph, even for kids who live outside of the walk zone, so you have to get your kid there on your own. The alternative school used to be Barrett, and there was a bus. Not anymore. So it IS an additional thing to consider. [/quote]
