[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So those of you who want two high schools, why exactly? Do you really think that a 2500 student high school is necessarily better than a 5000 student one? The neighboring school districts (Arlington and Fairfax) with their many neighborhood high schools have in fact become highly segregated. It’s not like the concern is entirely made up. [/quote] Because half or whatever of the ACPS student population refuses to even try. The drop off isn’t even in high school, it’s when they drag down the middle schools (that feed into the high school), and force any sane families to move or go private. Yes that will look like segregation. The current situation is also a form of segregation and not doing anyone any favors. The current high school is in effect two high schools, but grouped the same for statistical purposes. Who is that helping? How is the current nominally single high school (with two campuses) helping with after school stabbings or repeated fights?[/quote]
