Another High School Question...
What is all this 2A / 5A stuff you all are talking about? I thought kids just either went to a regular high school or a charter highschool? There is more to think about then that?
Where we are from, there were not different types of schools so I am confused...

Re: Another High School Question...
Yeah, our elementary school fed into ONE highschool too. We never had a choice to go to another high school. It was hard for me when we came here seeing that we could opt to go to a few different elementary schools. In New England, you went to a school that your address put you in. You couldnt ask to go to any other school. That is just the way it was.
There were a few private schools, but they were few and far in between. And you were payin 20K a year for the... So now that I am reading about different "levels" of high schools here.. I am lost...

Exactly this. In AZ, some of the thinking has changed in the last 10 or so years and there is more open enrollment between schools. You used to just go to school where you lived, but now you can apply to go to other schools. For example, the IB program that G is going into is only available at select schools and you have to do a whole application process. Kids in the neighborhood and nearby (that would go to diff schools) can all apply to get in.
As everyone else said - it's just a size thing. I believe 5A is the largest.
AZ is so different than any other place I've seen for schools. So much of the phoenix metro is open enrollment, so you can go anywhere. When I first started HS I was in Chaparrels district but didn't go there - my senior year we were technically in Fountain Hills district, but I stayed at my Scottsdale school.
That's interesting because where I went to high school the numbers were districts and the letters were sport rankings. For instance, the school I went to was 7A- meaning section seven and we played with A schools, meaning we had a full sports line-up. But it had nothing to do with number of students... my graduating class only had 45 students! We just had a lot of athletes.
We were actually the smallest A school in the entire state.
I know that in NYC you actually apply to go to the school you want to go to and, according to my NYC friends, only the slackers go to their locally assigned schools. It's interesting to hear how different areas manage the whole who-goes-to-school-where issue.

I know the festival is coming up her in the next couple months.... I wish CJ could get some time off so we could go but summer is his crazy busy time so no luck on that one. Someday i will take him though. We went in may last year when they were starting to harvest and it smelled sooooo good!
