[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This move makes sense to me. Kenmore has the highest concentration of EL students of all the APS middle schools, so it provides a higher level of native speakers. I also wonder if moving the program there and then shifting general populations north would allow split feeders like Ashlawn (currently split about 60/40 to Kenmore/Swanson) and Glebe to all be assigned to single middle schools. If all of Ashlawn went to Swanson and all of Glebe went to Hamm it would be better for the community to stay together.

It’s still splitting Ashlawn between Swanson and Kenmore and Glebe between Swanson and Hamm. Looks like its splitting off more of Barrett to Swanson. That’s the part I find odd. [/quote]

Not sure about the other schools, but the Glebe contingent going to Swanson will be really small under this proposal.  APS should just send them all to Hamm.  I'm in favor of the elementary schools being kept together as much as possible, especially when they would just split back to W-L after middle school anyway.[/quote]
