[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And to save you all some time, here is a link to the map. http://www.apsva.us/cms/lib2/VA01000586/Centricity/Domain/168/ES%202016%20Offical%20Map%2001222015.pdf

I am guessing the Taylor parent above would be going to the Science Focus building (and therefore not crossing Lee Highway) if it had not been taken out of commission as a neighborhood school years ago and turned into a "choice" school program.  The locations of these programs does not make a lot of sense now.[/quote]

Taylor parent here.  Yep, ASFS is 4 blocks away.[/quote]

Right, but ASFS is now a neighborhood school, in essence, for the Key Boundary. So whether it's a choice school or neighborhood school, it would not be the school you are zoned for, right? Again, it stinks to be on the edge of the boundary, where you'd need a bus (or have an unsafe walk) to school. But at least if ASFS is a choice school, there's a chance you might be able to attend. If it were a neighborhood school, it still wouldn't be your neighborhood school, right?

We need to invest more in making it safer for all kids to get to all schools (by foot and bike if they want), because we can't possibly build enough schools for everyone to be within a couple blocks of their elementary school. Not even a neighborhood-schools-only model can accomplish that.[/quote]
