You can do that for middle and high school option programs but the original point the pp made was that elementary option schools help keep the UMC in south Arlington into middle and high school. The transfer reports don't really speak to that phenomenon.[/quote]

PP will need to provide some evidentiary support for that, because otherwise I'm not terribly convinced that someone who will fight tooth and nail to get their kid out of a 70% FARMS elementary school is going to be totally cool with a 50% FARMS high school. [/quote]

Hard to quantify, agree. Across SA elementary population as a whole, the farms rate is 50%. That's the same as Wakefield, which they all feed into. So it's reasonable to imagine that Wakefield draws roughly proportionately from SA elementaries. Obviously Henry and Oakridge are the biggest sources of Wakefield's non-farms, since they aren't title 1 schools. So it follows that other schools that aren't title 1 are also sources, and that means option schools. Wakefields nonfarms students must come from somewhere.
