[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How could anyone NOT get in when F-S is under-enrolled?[/quote]

There are a limited number of spots in each grade. They are under enrolled in the upper grades, certainly NOT in the lower grades. 
It is a much better school than my IB school. It was much better even before The current principal took over, but it is even more so now.

I get why the HS people are pissed. This merger clearly only benefited FS. But it has made a huge difference for FS, and it has become a sought-after school in the lower grades because of the merger.[/quote]

I get your point.  Just checked the OSSE stats on FS and it is definitely improving.  Still "below proficiency" on average, but much better than it was and the gains have been notable the past few years.  Maybe the Walls association is helping improve learning at the school; maybe it's due to new leadership and management and teachers there; or maybe its a combination of a lot of things.  But you can't argue with the statistics.  Maybe Kaya knows what she's doing with this one.[/quote]

Why does FS become more sought after? There is not going to be any preference for getting into Walls. A name is just a name. (unless you're reading the Expectant Parents forum)[/quote]
