[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oakridge is one of the most overcrowded schools in the county. They will use Drew to reduce the overcrowding. [b]Do you really think they will bus Arlington Ridge to Drew and not Arna Valley and the Berkeley, no matter how walkable they are?[/quote][/b]

Of course they won't. Does anyone think that?

Drew will not be Oakridge or Henry. But it also won't be Carlin Springs. Do the math:

In the Carlin Springs attendance boundary:

Arbor Heights -198
Columbia Grove - 121
Fields of Arlington - 130
Harvey Hall - 189
Key Gardens - 22
Monterey - 109
The Serrano - 196
The Shell - 83

In the current Drew boundary:

Fort Henry Gardens - 82
The Macedonian - 36
The Shelton - 94

In the potential Drew boundary, if they sweep up Long Branch Creek:

Arna Valley - 101
Avalon - 64 
The Berkley - 110
The Grove - 7

So, that's 1,048 units of AH in the Carlin Springs boundary, and 212 in the current Drew boundary, and 494 if they move all of the AH in Oakridge to Drew. There's more than double the units of AH in the Carlin Springs attendance zone. Not the same. [/quote]

A useful comparison. What you're missing is that much of Nauck's SFH and duplexes are not owned by wealthy newcomers. Nauck is house rich and cash poor. Lots of people live in houses their grandparents paid off. We know from the test scores published on arlnow several years ago that drews graded program does worse than Randolph and carlin springs. That's a strong clue that the farms rate is comparable.[/quote]
