[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yorktown isn't a bad school.  Not by any means.  
Say we need a second he because it's not fair that there is more demand than seats.  That makes sense.  Having it be co-located with Arlington tech makes sense too-- it might attract more kids to Arlington tech if it's slightly larger.  [/quote]

HB and Arlington Tech would be separate programs, so I can’t see a bunch of kids flocking to AT to get backdoor access to HB. If anything, I wonder if HB’s presence might alienate some of the kids who otherwise would be interested in AT if they feel like they may be marginalized within the space in favor of HB students.[/quote]
One of the criticisms Ive heard of AT is that they are having a hard time attracting girls.  Pairing it with another choice program might dilute that since they could potentially have combined extracurriculars and combined common spaces/lunchtime with hb 2.  I don’t know if they would feel marginalized necessarily, but I don’t have kids in high school currently so I’m not sure.[/quote]
