[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a stem school, but not a choice school. It's a neighborhood school.[/quote]

but the [b]school is so under enrolled you can just transfer there without even doing a lottery[/b]![/quote]

Really? I had not heard that. We are zoned Randolph, and I just got an earful from a neighbor this morning about that school. [/quote]

I also want more information in this! Is this a long term or just temporary thing? Did mentioning it here just start a stampede?[/quote]

Disclaimer: I don't have a student at Hoffman-Boston.  They actually started the STEM thing a few years ago (2012-13 maybe?) I think in part in an effort to see if they could convince others at overcrowded schools or who wanted to go to ASF to go there.  It was a failed experiment in that sense, but I have no idea what actual instruction is like.  I think APS doesn't publicize it very much because we are so in flux about finding seats for overcrowded schools in Arlington - I think they have to preserve space there one way or another for the interim seats solution until the new elementary school is built in S Arlington.  (Maybe make Hoffman Boston a prek/K center, maybe move 5th graders there, maybe move Montessori there, etc.)[/quote]
