Please describe what that would entail and how it differs from current practice.

You mean the current practice of half our schools with almost no ELL students and the half with almost entire schools of ELL? That practice?

I live in SA. What do you propose?

Immersion in south Arlington. All across south Arlington. Shutting down Randolph, Carlin Springs, and Barcroft as neighborhood schools. Make them choice and try to entice middle class families to buy in.

While these schools are not over capacity they are close to capacity. If you really wanted only 50 percent English language learners you would need to move some of those kids to other schools. Where would you put them?

They would need to go to the vacated seats of middle class kids in north Arlington.

And are the parents of English language learner students in favor of this busing? I don’t think there’s a lot of support out there for that level of integration, as good as it might be for student outcomes.

Everyone is fine with the current situation except for people who bought SFH zoned to Drew, Barcroft, Randolph, and Carlin Springs.

Why does APS attract so few Asians and why is the achievement gap in APS so great? APS never grapples with this so long as white kids from higher income families do OK. It’s a mediocre system that takes credit for the few home runs scored by kids who started out on third base and overlooks everyone else.



If we’re dealing in stereotypes, then I’d say it’s because Asian families are wealthy and prefer to live closer to work in large newer homes along the tech corridor stretching out past Dulles. The achievement gap is so great because the lower income students are mostly 1st or 2nd gen immigrants and there are language an cultural challenges, in addition to those associated with poverty. Generally, it’s already apparent to me that APS cares more about inclusivity than student performance; the gifted program is kinda fake, tons of resources are thrown at ESOL, etc.

Guess that's why they just got sued///
