I feel really daft about all of this. Having a hard time seeing where all these kids are coming from and going to.


That's correct. Then 200 per grade for each new grade after that. Remains to be seen how popular it is. But, I heard from the counselor at TJ that over 40 kids there have applied or expressed interest in applying. They are taking 20 kids from each middle school for next year's 9th graders.



That great, but I would love to know where those kids are slated to attended high school? I wonder if most of those would be Wakefield kids. I know 3 Gunston kids applying. Again, they would be attending Wakefield.

Huh?



Yeah -I'll try that again. The school board is given information from the APS staff. This is on Murphy, Chadwick and the gang.

Will we got information on which kids are applying where? Of course can we even trust those numbers? All of this business and the insanity over at McKinley elementary... I've lost my faith in their competency.


Whenever they post the transfer report for 2016-2017 we should be able to see the info for Arlington Tech. Maybe by next year?

This is too funny. If part of the reason the numbers were so off was because of the consultants they paid to create the tool, we shoukd get a refund.


Supposedly part of the explanation is that this is the Yorktown zone. The extra numbers are kids at HB, Career Center, Arlington Tech, or W-L IB program. Supposedly.



Arlington Tech is ans will continue to draw heavily from WAKEFIELD. This is due to proximity and limousine liberalism. Lots of my neighbors were just fine with Wakefield, until they had another option. Don't expect it to appeal to Yorktown as heavily.


You know that and I know that. Convince Dr. Murphy and the school board members of that.
