[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people don't want an option school in their neighborhood b/c it's not really an option for their family.  They would prefer that their kids go to schools within walking distance. This is not Nottingham or Ashlawn or Oakridge or Reed specific.  This is the same feeling all over the county.  So, adding an option school to your neighborhood does not make anything better fo you.  It's only going to have a negative impact on your neighborhood, unless you get priority enrollment (which you don't).[/quote]

PP here. Yes most people don’t want to go to option schools. But some people do. If an option school like Campbell existed in my neighborhood (and I am not advocating that Campbell be moved), I would definitely try to enroll my child. I also like the diversity that tends to exist in option schools when compared to neighborhood schools. We are not white so diversity is important to us. Like I said. We are zoned for Tuckahoe. If we end up being rezoned to McKinley or Reed I wouldn’t be upset about it (I get why people who already have kids in tuckahoe would be upset though). McKinley is a great school and hopefully it will no longer be overcrowded. Reed is in an amazing neighborhood with very dedicated parents so I’m sure it will be an excellent school[/quote]
