[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. Or move ATS to upper NW.  We really need equitable access to plum option programs for the 1%. That’s what moving these schools to affluent Tuckahoe or Nottingham would do.  No one will send their kids across the county. So NW parents will have these options to themselves. That’ll play well in the Post. [/quote]

Here's the thing- there is/ will be when Reed opens- Surplus space in the Northwest.  There is severe overcrowding in the Rosslyn corridor.  Do you find it more palatable to move ATS to Nottingham (and immersion to ATS) recognizing that it will make it somewhat harder for some families to access ATS?  Or do you find it more palatable to leave all option schools where they are- but make Reed/Tuckahoe/Nottingham/Mckinley/Ashlawn/Glebe all have narrow long boundaries so they feel less neighborhoody, and more stretched out.  E.g. all boundaries would be like the Ashlawn tail.

If you think there is a better option that will relieve the overcrowding in the North east- by all means propose it.  But recognize that 1) APS should find land where the school is needed is not a realistic  option and 2) there may be future development around east falls church so lets just leave Tuckahoe etc severely undercapacity is also not a realistic option.
