[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Actually, a focus on "educational quality" would say to spread low income kids evenly among the schools. There is a tipping point where too many low income kids affect the quality of education provided by the schools. If no school in arlington goes above 30 percent low income kids, all the schools would perform well and provide a high quality of education.[/quote] If the students were evenly distributed today, you'd have three high schools each over 30% low-income and an open question as to how many higher-income families would leave APS. [/quote] W-L is currently more than 30% FRL and it is just fine. [/quote] It looks better on paper because it gets IB transfers from the other schools while still being allowed to offer AP. If the other schools were allowed to offer both programs, or fewer students transferred out of Wakefield due to the current WHS demographics, it would be a different story. [/quote]
