[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's also amazing to me how white people are SO scared of the high FRL schools.

When you live in South Arlington, you are not scared of them.  And you know that your child can have a terrific experience anywhere.  We have friends who choose to go to Drew this year (vice Abingdon) and are having an outstanding experience.

But of course, you should have to post your zip code when entering these discussions.  It seems 22207 has a lot of opinions about what happens with 22204 and think their opinion should trump the opinion of those of us who actually live here.[/quote]

The most passionate voices in option school discussions on DCUM are SA parents, by far. The only reason many families stay in SA is because they have an out via option schools. Your claim is laughable.[/quote]

The opt-out rate of SA elem schools directly corresponds to the FARMS rate. You can do the math. The poorest schools have the most families who opt out. And there is a reason for that. I want my kids in schools with a FARMS rate around 30%. That's ideal. Higher than that and the schools don't perform as well. There is also data on this. But APS has not and will not ever address this issue.[/quote]
