[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny, because a couple years ago Barcroft was one of the most over crowded schools in the county. It was because the school was on an upward bound and the local UMC neighborhood families started to send their kids there. Then, the county allowed Arlington Mill to be zoned for Barcoft (and not Carlin Springs) and the numbers shot up, new principal came in (and not a good one) and once again the neighborhood left. I was amazed at the number of families that transfer out of Barcroft and Alcova Heights. The SB is now seriously considering taking out most of Alcova Heights from the boundary because of proximity to Fleet (but of course the new CAF will go to Barcroft), dooming the school to be even higher than its current 60%FR/L. The only place the school has to draw from is low income housing to fill the empty Alcova Heights seats. [/quote] Yup, white flight is def a factor in which schools are crowded or not in SA.[/quote]
