[quote=Anonymous]The issue isn't about being "overrun" by "white middle class Arlington." Right now the school is overrun by poorer kids of any color. I am "brown" and so is my kid, but we do not qualify for VPI. Campbell isn't diverse, it is 60% kids that qualify for free and reduced lunch. That is poor and while the school "embraces" its demographics and calls it diversity, other elementary schools such as Barcroft have similar demographics but are not labeled a school "not overrun by while middle class Arlington." If Campbell is to remain a choice school, it must grant access to the school to the entire attendance zone, not just from VPI. That worked when the school was underpopulated, it does not now. Instead, the school's policy creates just another title I school in the southwestern part of the county and perpetuates segregation. The demographics should be balanced out similar to ATS. [/quote]
