[quote=Anonymous]I am a Barcroft parent with a kid in choice, and I agree that more choice will siphon off more parents like me.

That said, almost every parent I know in Barcroft moved to the neighborhood knowing they would not send their kid to Barcroft. They moved after their kids started attending choice, or they moved knowing their kid would apply and get into choice (which is no longer secure and it is hurting home sales and rentals). I know I don't know everyone, but I know a lot of parents and so many of them had their minds made up. And all the ones I know would not have moved to this neighborhood but for the secure choice option. None of them would send their kid to Barcroft, period.

I moved here because I have a Latino heritage and must child needed to be literate in Spanish or my mom would kill me.

There is a chicken and egg problem here. I have posted on this board opposing making Barcroft a choice school, perhaps by moving ATS. But, considering the almost total lack of buy in (not total though), perhaps this could be considered if the neighborhood could be divided up between randolph and barrett (which is very close to Barcroft anyways.)
