[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So new boundaries could sink Jefferson's IB Middle Years Program over time? Couldn't the county guarantee out-of-boundary students who complete the IB program at Jefferson a path to W-L's own IB program to help keep the former's program vital? [/quote]

Why would APS allow this to happen? They are putting a lot of money into the IB program--it's very expensive. Why would they then undercut it by redrawing boundaries in such a way that would sink the program? Surely, parents and other stakeholders in the county would make sure this didn't happen.[/quote]

This makes no sense and I'd like to see this poster provide some evidence to support this point. It is the schools in N Arlington, where average HHIs and education levels are higher, that are overcrowded. If boundaries are redrawn, likely many N Arlington families currently zoned for Swanson will be shifted to Jefferson.

We live in N Arlington, are zoned for Swanson, and we send one of our DCs to Jefferson by choice. We love the school. Our older DC is at W-L, and we have been very pleased with it as well.[/quote]
