[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The option schools are some of the most diverse and balanced in Arlington. If people actually want to solve the issue of structural racism you don't shut down the option schools. You go after the schools that are 2% minority. This means radical boundary adjustments or a countywide ranked choice system. I'm all for it, but are they? Kinda doubt it, they people want their cake and they want to eat it too.[/quote]
People are also ignoring that having the option programs at Gunston and Wakefield are helpful to disparities at those schools.  My 22207 kid wouldn't attend either except for their option program and their stats absolutely benefit the school.[/quote]

"Their stats absolutely benefit the school"??? Their "stats" benefit the school?
So your child increases the non-FRL rate and, I assume, provides good test scores. But does your CHILD benefit the school? My understanding is that Montessori isn't particularly integrated into the larger  school community; and immersion is also separated a lot. Benefiting overal stats is not the same as creating a comparable, integrated school.[/quote]
