[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putting a 4th comprehensive high school at the career center site will DOOM WAKEFIELD. A huge percentage of the UMC that give Wakefield any diversity at all will be siphoned off to the new school's boundary. This will leave Wakefield to have a very high percentage of kids from low income families. [/quote]

They can have Glen Carlyn and Arlington Forest??

Seriously, we cannot be an entire high school short of seats because of a notion that it could "doom" one school.  Maybe the SB will finally balance diversity over all 4 schools then.[/quote]

Fat chance of diversity being anything more than a talking point, just like it is in the current boundary discussion. Wakefield will be very underenrolled if and when a 4th hs at the career center is built. It'll basically be high school for the western pike. Any UMC families swept up in that are going to bail after middle school. This is he same reason that many south Arlington es are underenrolled. The career center hs gets built, and because the county hasn't put dev restriction on that area like they have on he western pike, it'll get overcrowded right away.[/quote]
