[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're not going to do any of this. You cray. Certainly not any sort of tracking or "school within a school." Just move already. That's what they're going to tell you. [/quote]

Not cray. This is exactly what they did on the north side 25 years ago. It’s been done before.[/quote]

I am kind of new to the north side...but what elementary school(s) in NA did they put a "school within a school" 25 years ago?[/quote]

It wasn’t really school within a school, but [b]science focus, the team schools, and Key immersion was all about serving the middle class in that part of the county. I’m merely suggesting we get creative to do the same on the other side of the county. [/b]
That APS considers school within a school at Drew a failure, is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow. [b]Many families felt very well served by the Montessori program at Drew.[/b] I do agree it’s perferable they have a dedicated building. It doesn’t negate the success of that program as it stands now.[/quote]

And guess what? All of those programs have been dismantled, THIS YEAR. They're not going to start them up again in south Arlington. They really don't care about you, but feel free to waste your time and make an a** of yourself in the process. [/quote]

Can we talk about Drew Montessori here or is that a different thread? We live in Alcova Heights and were excited to learn that the Montessori was moving to Henry, placing a choice option within walking distance. Then we learned that the program was going to be designed to retain more of the kids who attended at the preschool level, making it harder for families to join in K. If we don't get a spot through the lottery in preschool, it sounded like we were locked out of that option.[/quote]

Yes, that is the point being made up thread. Even with a dedicated school, you will not have great odds for admittance. There are more families moving in with school age kids every day.[/quote]

They are consolidating the "satellite" locations next year and all are moving to the new school in 2019. So yeah, if you didn't get in at the preschool level, you aren't getting in to Montessori. [/quote]
