[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids in the Key zone already have a choice between ASFS or Key.  What are you nervous about?[/quote]

Key is going to be all lottery, ASFS is going to be a regular neighborhood school rather than a choice school. The boundaries are going to change, though the specifics are unclear at this point. Basically there will no longer be a Key zone, it will be split between the other schools, included ASFS.[/quote]

ASFS has never been a choice school. It has been and will continue to be a neighborhood elementary. The only difference is kids who live near Key will no longer be guaranteed a spot at the school, and any family in N Arlington interested in Immersion will have a better shot at getting in. Now that may mean ASFS will have to absorb the extra n'hood kids that Key was educating, but that's a separate issue. The rules on choice schools needed to be streamlined. [/quote]

I am so sick of reading on this forum that ASFS was never a choice school, always a neighborhood school.  This is patently false.  The school is a little over 20 years old - not that old. It’s first 10 years at least it was most certainly a choice school and kids from all over Arlington could attend, there just wasn’t bus transportation.  My 2 kids were zoned for Oakridge and attended ASFS.[/quote]
