Also, we never heard we could attend Taylor or Jamestown while living in Key? When we started several years ago they were both at capacity and we understood would not take transfers. Were we mistaken? Did the team concept allow it b/c we were avoiding immersion?[/quote]

Told by whom? How did you reach your understanding? Schools at capacity won't take out-of-team transfers, but I would think you could transfer to Taylor because then someone from Taylor could transfer to ASFS. [/quote]

We're in the Key neighborhood and sent our kid (in HS now) to Key. Back then, we were told Taylor or Jamestown were options because of the team concept. It was only later, when they ended up at capacity, that that was not an option (or maybe only with someone correspondingly transferring to ASFS from Taylor or Jamestown?).

Although it's moot for us now (but I've thought about it since we're named guardians of kids who I don't think would thrive at ASFS), I'm not terribly thrilled to have our school change to ASFS only, as we weren't interested for the same reason posted above (didn't care for the drilling atmosphere or what I'd heard about favoritism towards some big donor/volunteer parents and their kids, and our kid was and is far more interested in math, reading, and social studies than science). But I understand why they're making Key a lottery school since Claremont has so many kids who can't get in and they need to fix that problem, and making Key our only neighborhood school wouldn't work for parents who don't want immersion.[/quote]
