[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Towards the end of the document they talk about "other considerations based on school board discussion," and that list includes transit score. (Each school's transit score is provided by www.walkscore.com) Maybe I'm stupid, but how are they using the transit score- how does a high or low score translate into a school being a better or worse candidate for one kind of program vs another?[/quote] Transit score is based on how accessible the school is by walking and public transportation (higher score = more accessible). They haven't factored that into the analysis yet or said how they might use it, but the only thing that makes sense to me is that the more accessible a school is, the better a candidate it is for an option program. But Nottingham scores a 31 on that whereas Ashlawn is a 42, Barrett is a 58, McKinley is a 55 and Tuckahoe is a 61, so we're just ignoring it.[/quote]
