[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since people can transfer out of Barcroft, into Randolph, the affluent families of Barcroft should transfer. They may be able actually improve the demographics of one of those schools in a meaningful way. Having middle class kids from both Barcroft and Douglas Park might actually be enough of a critical mass to improve the mix.[/quote]

They need to provide transportation.[/quote]

Honestly, why don't they?  They shuttle everyone else around the entire county with their special programs.[/quote]

is it true they don't?[/quote]

Because no Barcroft families do this. Why would they put their kid on a bus to be the only white middle class kid in a failing school? If they don't do Barcroft elementary, they do choice or private.

Now, if those civic associations got together and tried to take over Randolph... I'm sure they could get buses. The Arlington way is the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Those neighborhoods have been silent. Hell, Randolph's heat was broken a few years back. The kids were sitting there in winter coats. Can you imagine that happening at Nottingham! [/quote]
