[quote=Anonymous]I think the tension with F vs. H is the tension between making Williamsburg take its "fair share" vs. having Kenmore over 50%. Extrapolating from the experiences/views of W-L and Patrick Henry, it seems many people are fine with FARMS rates around 1/3, and certainly no one can quibble with the excellent results of those schools. However, some people start to get mighty uncomfortable once the rates rise up to the 40s and the outcomes may be inferior (again, extrapolating on attitudes towards, say, Wakefield and Kenmore).

I personally am comfortable with numbers in the 40s based on what I know now (we are zoned for Wakefield). However, I get uncomfortable with numbers over 50%. I can't articulate exactly why, or point to a specific study (many of which say lower rates are too high anyway), it just seems too darn high. We're not zoned for Kenmore under any circumstance, but I personally cannot support a plan that would push that school, or any other, over 50%. Because of that, I don't care about W'burg taking its fair share. [/quote]
