[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school board or APS staff will never publish where low income residents live or where affluent residents live, and how boundaries for a new school will affect demographics. It would be too controversial. [/quote]

[b]I would want to know if demographics were taken into consideration for Discovery. [/b]If they weren't, would it be for a new school? I'm not sure the county is out to carve new affluent enclaves via school zones in the South, over delivering better education to all there. At least, that's what I hope.[/quote]

If you were at the boundary process meetings, demographics (or diversity) was not one of the issues deemed important. At one of the first community outreach events, parents from the affected N Arlington Schools (Ashlawn, Glebe, McKinley, Taylor, Tuckahoe, Barrett, Jamestown, Nottingham) ranked priorities, and diversity came dead last. So demographics were not a factor at all. [/quote]

And appropriately so. Diversity is not exactly an important criterion.[/quote]
