[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are APS's Title 1 schools - . Abingdon, Barcroft, Barrett, Campbell, Carlin Springs, Drew, Hoffman-Boston, Patrick Henry and Randolph. That is basically every ES with a South Arlington address. The cut is 40% or higher on FRL. These are urban schools, with all of their attendant issues. [/quote] Plus the county is actively working against gentrification. Doesn't mean it won't happen, but it's not happening soon. The county allowed the r-b corridor to gentrify with the understanding that Arlington's poor could all be housed along Columbia pike. Walter Tejada was promised Buckingham ( and was displeased at what happened there) and Columbia Pike. There are enough dyed in the wool libs in that area ( who don't have kids in the schools) to make it an easy target. Doesn't mean the schools are bad, but they are overloaded with more than their fair share of poverty.[/quote]
