[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Move MS immersion to WMS and HS to Yorktown. [/quote]

That would kill the program - and we can leave aside the question of the program’s value - so it’s not a solution. (If the program dies a couple years after a move like this, then we’ll just be in the same place we’re in now in two years.)

Moving and expanding HB is a much better long-term solution; so many people want those seats that they will go wherever the program is. The program will thrive wherever it is. [/quote]

While I doubt that would ever realistically happen, wouldn’t expanding HB simply exacerbate the segregation among the schools? APS has tried but failed to make HB a truly diverse school. And there was the lawsuit 30 years ago that nipped one such diversity effort at HB and ATS in the bud.

I think that’s one of the reasons why the multiple HB idea was scuttled a few years back to deal with the then high school overcrowding. Briefly APS seriously considered  three or four HB Woodlawns scattered around the county. But it was an expensive idea that would’ve made the segregation worse at the middle and high school levels.

If APS cares about segregated schools, the only path forward is sending everyone back to the neighborhood schools.  And they will never do that.[/quote]
