What makes more sense is to move Immersion to Carlin Springs, because it's just not walkable and never will be, and turn Claremont back into a neighborhood school. Really, there will be hundreds of kids in the Frederick Street development and they can't all be bused into Barcroft. They could be walkers to Claremont if it were a neighborhood school. [/quote]

Similar to Tuckahoe, CS could make sense if you look at it as a not very walkable school.  However, Carlin Springs is unique in the way that it provides a huge amount of wrap around support services to its low income population that would be lost if those kids were dispersed to other schools.

Tuckahoe is very attractive as an option school because it has close Metro Rail and frequent Metro Bus / Art along Lee highway.[/quote]

But what option?  The ATS is already even less walkable and more centrally located, immersion doesn’t make a lot of sense there compared to locations with a nearby Spanish speaking population, and the school board said they aren’t considering new option schools, although they would consider moving them.

If ATS moves, it will be because they want that building for Immersion. I don't think they will move it to make the ATS building a neighborhood school. [/quote]

ATS to Tuckahoe or Nottingham, immersion to ATS building.  ASFS and Key become neighborhood schools.  Interesting.[/quote]
