[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is really no choice anymore with overcapacity. There is about a 3% chance that you can lottery into ATS. [b]The choice is an overcrowded school with a trailer[/b], homeschooling or private school. [/quote] Yet year after year, enrollment in the most crowded schools goes up, and real estate values in the most desirable zip codes go up. The economics of revealed preferences doesn't lie--people clearly prefer overcrowded north Arlington schools to the alternatives (longer commutes/Falls Church-Fairfax, more diverse schools/south Arlington-Alexandria, bigger mortgages/McLean-Bethesda, or lotteries/DC).[/quote] The benefits apparently outweigh the costs. There are at least three schools in N Arlington with diverse populations: Key, ATS, and ASFS. [/quote] Long Branch and Patrick Henry also nice diverse school populations where the poverty level is on par with the country population stats overall. [/quote]
