[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The middle school boundaries SHOULD have been about evening out enrollment. Instead, SB screwed Kenmore and entitled families at Swanson couldn’t put their parochial interests aside to think about the greater good.  Now, Williamsburg is 1% FARMS and way under-utilized. (BTW- None of the Williamsburg families I know are particularly happy about that but they also felt shouted down when they wanted to engage and had hateful accusations hurtled at them.)

Now - this ES boundary change is lining up to be worse. We must move units around to fix the weird gerrymandering and even out the capacity at all schools. Tuckahoe hunkering down so early is disgusting. And throwing other schools to the wolves is entertaining.[/quote]

Williamsburg is 12.4% FARMS this year.  If you want to babble, at least check your statistics first. You just embarrass your fellow Arlingtonians with this nonsense.[/quote]

Pretty sure pp meant to refer to what Williamsburg will look like when the new boundaries go into effect. If so, pp is absolutely correct.

That would be more like 5%, and remind me why it makes you unhappy that your kids will be at an affluent school that isn’t over-enrolled like Kenmore and others.[/quote]

I am the 1% poster. Yes - it will be around 4% estimated in the first year, but the outyear projections show it at -%. That is embarrassing. I am mad about what happened to Kenmore in the boundaries. I did speak to SB members and wrote letters to advocate for an equitable distribution of all students. SB got weak and caved to colored shirts.

Same thing is getting ready to happen with Reed construction and ES boundaries.[/quote]
