[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A WL parent here.  Please don't take this the wrong way, but the concentration of poverty really doesn't allow for moving up a lot of poorer students to Yorktown.  Not without a deliberate decision by the SB (assuming the families in those units don't mind bussing up north) to make it happen.

I hadn't heard about the 100s of new units coming online in the south.  DAMN the County Board.  I really am starting to despise them.[/quote]

The demographic data only takes into account currently enrolled APS students. There are two more affordable housing projects underway along the Pike that will be zoned Wakefield (not in PU's under consideration). It will mean hundreds of economically disadvantaged students (one project has something like 60 family-sized units; the other project, which is ONLY PHASE ONE OF FOUR AND THEY ALREADY OWN THE LAND, will be over one hundred family-sized units. I welcome them all to Arlington, but DAMN. It's probably not going to be the neighborhood they were hoping for either when they win the AH lottery and hear "Arlington." So please don't move all those kids away from W-L to Wakefield. 65% poverty was my estimate not including all the units already under construction or planned. [/quote]
