[quote=Anonymous]Why are we trying to save Key on Key for 2 grades of kids who got in during the Key as neighborhood school era? If everyone else is countywide option, it shouldn’t matter where the school goes.

The options policy went into effect 3 years ago, so only the Key 2nd graders and above got in as “neighbored” and not as the countywide option. Since current 4th and 5th graders are not affected by the 2021 process, only 2 grades at Key (2nd and 3rd) are neighborhood. Everyone else got in as countywide option.

APS hasn’t broken down the numbers by grade, but Key has over 60% transfers in from outside the key neighborhood based on last years numbers. That likely will increase every year based on the new policy. Key actually has kids fro every elementary in Arlington, not just eastern schools. Significant transferring in schools:
- Barrett 49
- Glebe 55
- Long Branch 83
- Patrick Henry 41
- Taylor 90 (likely higher because they were in the “team”)

ATS will be a lot closer for a ton of current Key students. Sad that fact is being obscured.
