[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's good that Arlington Science Focus and Arlington Traditional and the other county-wide schools are being made to absorb more students to pick up the slack.

I was really alarmed reading a PTA thing recently from Jamestown in which a fuss was made about "caps" at Arlington Traditional that comply with their "philosophy" -- turns out the info was immaterial b/c the board is already going to be increasing the population of those schools to take pressure off some of the neighborhood schools, but any pushback against the board that divides the schools is going to be ineffective.

ASFS does not have 23 kids in every class, according to a PP. ASFS being a N Arl neighborhood-lottery-based school has more potential to 'pick up the slack' for your N Arl school.

ATS, on the other hand, has 24 for every K/1/2 grade class. ATS being a county-wide lottery school has less potential to 'pick up the slack' for your N Arl schools.

how many kids in your DC school's class? [/quote]
