[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um...isnt a major factor for the current boundaries along the Orange line to try to balance socioeconomics groups?  If you look at the Yorktown district, it seems that must be the reason for grouping Rosslyn kids with country club hills. And the fact that Rosslyn / courthouse /clarendon didnt have as many school age kids as they do now.  With the growth in $1 million + homes, mcmansions popping up on top of pre-war housing, and [b]more families in high SES staying in the corridor to raise their kids, isnt this dramatic shift in demographics an overlooked argument here?  [/b]

Also, the petition says that Key doesnt function properly as a choice school.  My understanding was you could lottery in from outside the neighborhood.  Maybe only from the team, but its certainly not just limited to being a neighborhood school.  [/quote]

It may be an overlooked argument for the people posting here, but not the county. The county is fully aware of its current rosslyn/clarendon demographics. They have the property tax records to tell them so. I live in rosslyn and I am quite amused by the assumptions of some of the posters here. To assume clarendon/rosslyn neighborhoods could so easilly be overlooked is truly clueless.[/quote]

Im the PP.  thats exactly my point.  Obviously the demographic issue is a huge factor for the county.  So surprised that it isnt a factor at all in arguments for/against the current districting scheme for rosslyn/clarendon/courthouse, both for and against.  Seems to be an element that cant be ignored.
