[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I should have been more clear.  No I am not saying this, at all.  What I am saying is that many choice schools are no longer options at all, because of the tiered lottery system currently in place.  "Area" choice schools have supplanted countywide choice schools.  This means that some neighborhoods have preference over others, and given the capacity crisis in both N and S Arlington, many lotteries are not open to students living outside the preferred boundary. The only true countywide choice elementary is ATS.

Just to clarify--Montessori is countywide choice, and there is no neighborhood preference in the lottery. [/quote]

Yes, my mistake.  I stand corrected. [/quote]

Np- that doesn't change the fact that some choices and are not a choice for all. That's a problem and before people living in ASF boundary get all bent out of shape, I don't thing it's great that they don't have a regular neighborhood school either. This system seems very dysfunctional to me.[/quote]
