[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, Lemon Road has closer to 30% FARMS which is rather high for a school with only 300 kids. I'm now curious about the school boundaries.[/quote]

Lemon Road now has a 21% farms rate.[/quote]

This is due to the addition of the AAP center (which have very low FARMS rates).  The number of FARMS students has stayed roughly the same. [/quote]

Correct, the FARMS number of children remains about the same percentage as the other schools surrounding it in grades K-2, particularly Westgate, Freedom Hill, and Shrevewood. So therefore, the boundaries are working out well between all the schools in this area.[/quote]

The Lemon Road attendance area is bordered by Westgate, Freedom Hills, Shrevewood,  Haycock and Kent Gardens.   There's a fairly wide range of FARMS percentages at those schools, although Lemon Road is about the ame of Freedom Hill.

Westgate 31.5%
Shrevewood 23.9%
Freedom Hill 20.6%
Lemon Road 19.2%
Haycock 3.1%
Kent Gardens 2.6%[/quote]

Lemon Road's FARMS rate will increase as the kids who had to switch from Haycock to Lemon Road graduate.[/quote]

Why?  Is this based on an assumption that LLIV kids will stay at Westgate and Shrevewood in the future?  [/quote]

Yes. Neither of those schools have LLIV for 5th and 6th grade so Lemon Road has two full AAP classes for those grades. But because those two schools started LLIV programs two years ago the same year Lemon Road center was created, Lemon Road has not been able to fill both classes for third grade. So essentially all schools in that area convert to LLIV programs with I guess Lemon Road having about 1 class or 1.5 classes of AAP students. It's quite ridiculous considering these same parents were willing to send their children to trailers at Haycock, but now we know a main reason a lot of them have stayed at their LLIV programs were because they were told they could be in classes of under 20 students.[/quote]
