[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HB moved for Hamm to be able to take that campus. That's the only reason. HB did not want to move but as an option program I guess there was more flexibility for them to move. They don't have sports (other than ultimate) so they don't need the facilities of a comprehensive high school and don't need to be located for walkers to attend. Plus the smaller size allows it to have a smaller building.

Actually at the elementary level the most crowded schools are not in N Arlington but along the central part of the county. [/quote]

Yes, H-B was replaced by Dorothy Hamm Middle School, which has an even higher percentage of white students. So spare me the "equity concerns," if we cared about that the new middle school would have been put in Rosslyn, not Vacation Lane.  [/quote]
?? I would have loved a middle school in Rosslyn because I live there, but all of Rosslyn is zoned for Hamm.  The school demographics would have been the same -- it might have been able to pull from south arlington (hoffman boston, maybe or parts of current fleet), but I doubt it since those areas are much closer to other schools though.

They should have built an elementary school there.  There are lots and lots of little kids who live in apartments.  Most people decide to move when their kids get to middle school because having two kids live in a single room becomes considerably less fun when they become closer to teenagers.  [/quote]
