[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe there should be more of a trade off for HB. Like no more going back to the home school for sports and the like.
If it truly is part of the answer to overcrowding and the education is so superior, it is only fair. 
You want HB for your snowflake?
Fine, but they don't get to crowd out kids at their base school for extra curriculars. [/quote]

Agree. That completely sucks for base school students. Why does Arlington even have these schools or why can't they make them the same size as the others?[/quote]

192 kids transferred to Wakefield and 315 to Washington Lee, which is more kids than are in high school at HB. Last year 484 kids total transferred among the 3 comprehensive high schools. And those kids attend their transfer schools full time and are more likely to participate in extracurriculars than HB kids, who have to take a bus across town. How is that fair to the kids at the base school, for whom it is the neighborhood school? Why does Arlington allow all these transfers? [/quote]
