[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a stem school, but not a choice school. It's a neighborhood school.[/quote]

but the school is so under enrolled you can just transfer there without even doing a lottery![/quote]

Really? I had not heard that. [b]We are zoned Randolph, and I just got an earful from a neighbor this morning about that school[/b]. [/quote]

Do tell.  Randolph is the option if you don't want the year round program at Barcroft.  I'm interested in hearing more. [/quote]

Ok, grain of salt here. He didn't go into enough specifics for my liking. This was the point of view from someone working in the office. Felt the school was overwhelmed, and the principal's style of management was destructive toward the staff. Getting details about this school has been few and far between. I can only infer that people aren't sending their kids there, and that begs more questions.
I have been watching the school with interest since we bought in the neighborhood. We are now expecting, and starting to look and plan for the future. Obviously, we have a ton of undetermined factors, however I am not going to be caught off guard.
I believe Randolph has higher Farm rates than Barcroft. That doesn't necessarily scare me off, as long as the school is equipped to handle it. I'm concerned that county isn't looking into the future, and planning for the problems they are creating.
