[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To crudely summarize:

Winners:
Henry families/homeowners south of Columbia Pike, now zoned to Fleet
Barcroft and Alcova Heights- Barcroft is getting Giliam Place, but losing the Barcroft Apartments, which seems like it should be a reduction in FARMS rates.
Oakridge- gets rid of Pentagon City apartments, which presumably had more transience.
Nertual:
Hoffman-Boston- getting Pentagon City and Fort Myer should be a good thing, but the current program seems to serve the existing community well.  Will be interesting to see how H-B adapts to a different population.

Losers:
Kids at Drew- who will be stuck with a school with a ridiculous FARMS rate for Arlington.
Nauck- Sending part of Barcroft Apartments to Drew is unconscionable.
Columbia Forest- They sat through the Abingdon renovation and are now being jettisoned like yesterdays fish.  And moving them now would keep them out of Claremont, if it becomes a neighborhood school in the next round, right?

It’s pretty clear from this map that they’re not moving immersion anywhere. Half the potential Claremont walk zone, including the unit with Claremont itself, are zoned to Drew in his map. If they keep this arrangement and then make Claremont neighborhood, they end up with an ASFS-style situation where the school sits outside its own zone, and APS is not going there again.[/quote]
