[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ASFS be like:  not enough popcorn in the world to enjoy this.[/quote]

A lot of ASFS opposed the swap, and the new boundaries for Key will carve them up.  This is basically the real end of ASFS.[/quote]

I bet 75% of the current community will stay together and form a new great school at the Key location.

ASFS will continue to exist. I doubt it will change much unless the principal retires.

What are you talking about? A lot of ASFS will be redistricted to Key. They have to relieve the overcrowded at ASFS plus make room for all the kids that currently go to Taylor but could walk to ASFS, plus the “tail” of Ashlawn.

And then there is the Reed redistricting... I have no clue how staff is going to accomplish this.[/quote]

Yes, I’m estimating that 75% of the current population will stay together and move together to the new Key location.

Yes, I agree about that amount will move to Key. But how does ASFS stay the same? You mean the focus/attitude will stay even if the kids change? [/quote]

Yes, it's a very transient area with kids coming in and out all of the time. With strong leadership from above, much will remain the same.

EL and economically-disadvantaged %s will down some but it will maintain some diversity from PUs in VA Square. Likely no Mongolian communities.

But overall I think it'll be pretty much the same.

Really no. It prides itself as an international community, but all the State Dept children with foreign born mothers and diverse immigrants from apts live in Rosslyn.

New ASFS will be much more white, akin to Taylor or Jamestown. I suspect with STEM hungry Asian tiger moms, Science enthusiasm will wane (it already has, no more music songs about chemistry ).  [/quote]

The casual anti-Asian bias in this post helps explain why most higher-income Asians avoid APS altogether.[/quote]
