[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I'll get flamed but there is a difference in the type of families that move to HB, Henry areas than Abbingdon.  Lots of Asians, East Asians, Mongolians in Henry and HB area.  I live in Henry district and see them at the park.  Talking to the parents they say they moved specifically into these districts for the diversity and high ranked elementary schools.  These families may stay or may move to different apartments for middle school, high school.  They are not the families clustered around the west end of the pike.  [/quote]

I'm not as knowledgeable about Henry's demographics. But from what I've seen, Abingdon draws from the Fairlington, Claremont & Columbia Forest neighborhoods. That's a good chunk of middle class families in townhouses and nice SFH's. Doesn't seem radically different than Patrick Henry, although Abingdon itself is a lot more crowded. [/quote]

Again, those families are at Claremont, Montessori, ATS, or private. Not that many have stuck with the neighborhood school. I think the renovation helped more families feel comfortable with the neighborhood school, but not enough yet to mirror Henry's test scores. [/quote]
