[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How real are these projected numbers? I know FCPS can be wildly wrong when predicting short-term and long-term numbers. Is APS really going to have that many additional high school students in just a couple years?

If those are real, reliable numbers, then[b] just build the fourth high school[/b]. Expensive, yes, but needed.[/quote]

Where?[/quote]

The Henry/Fenwick area[/quote]
Yes, instead of "Arlington Tech"
We need a full High School utilizing the entire space of the entire parcel.

I can't think of anywhere else in Arlington where that type of space is available - unless maybe around the Pentagon area??[/quote]

Ok, sorry, just caught up with the thread!
I didn't know VHC is offering up 12 acres at their South Arlington site!
That would be awesome!  Is this certain?
If it is, what are APS  and the County waiting for?[/quote]

VHC and the county have entered into a land swap.  The county is giving VHC some land near the hospital.  VHC is giving the option for the county to acquire the carlin springs parcel.  No one knows what the county will do with the land - by no means is it pledged for any school, much less a 4th high school (which the school board in the past has disfavored).  There are Lenny of people who would prefer to see it used as a park instead.

If you think the land should be made available to APS for use as a school, email the county board.[/quote]
