[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk about gerrymandering. Looks like an effort to split up some of the poverty along the pike, which is a good thing. But it makes other schools less diverse, such as fleet and Abingdon. Barcroft looks like it is screwed though. That should just be a choice school. It gets the bad end of the stick every time.

Demographics need to accompany this map. As do streets.

Disagree that this would screw Barcroft. It looks like it takes Barcroft apartments out of Barcroft, leaving it with only Arlington Mill. Questionable from Barrett's perspective though. [/quote]

No, look at the map again. Barcroft would just take different sectinons of barcroft apartments. A swath west of George Mason all the way down towards claremont would be included. At the same time, it would lose south arlington forest and the centro corner and all of alcova. that would literally leave the small SFH neighborhood as the only source of middle class wealth in that school.

Nice.

Funny, I told folks that s arlington forest would be sent to barrett and people laughed.

Mark Barcroft a choice school and be done with it. Put Key there. There is minimal buy-in from the SFH community and these types of changes will only solidify the exodus. Just be done with it and move on.[/quote]
