[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ Edited above to say, I'm not arguing that is the best plan... it is just my best guess about what APS is thinking (as someone who has been involved in this mess for a while)[/quote]

I think you may be right about Campbell/Claremont/Carlin Springs, but I'm not sure about the rest of it. Having ATS and Nottingham as option schools boxes in Tuckahoe/Reed/McKinley/Ashlawn. Those schools would then be in pretty good shape capacity-wise after Reed opens (and if transfers from ATS start to disproportionately come from those schools due to proximity, it could be even better), but it wouldn't be feasible from a transportation standpoint to then reach past the option schools to pull in additional planning units and relieve overcrowding in the entire territory north/west of there. That means a lot of Nottingham moves to Discovery, Discovery has to move to Jamestown and Glebe, Jamestown pushes to Taylor and both Taylor and Glebe push students back into ASFS/Key. Further, since you have to keep some kind of geographic division between the immersion programs for planning purposes, the further west you move the Key immersion program, the less appeal it will have for families from the part of the county it needs to draw from, which risks making it underenrolled.[/quote]
