Website I can go to to see how full an elementary school is?

[Anonymous]

We are at an Arlington County elementary school that is way over capacity. Considering moving to MoCo. Is overcrowding a problem in MoCo too? Is there any website I can go to to see what percentage of capacity various schools are?

Title 1 and Focus schools have small class sizes.

Class sizes can also be fluid based on the number of kids enrolled each year but you can see what it's currently like here.

They still haven't updated the Schools at a Glance with this year's data yet. But here is a chart of each school's capacity and enrollment for the current school year.

These are reports from September 2020 so likely not an accurate representation for this school year or what it might look like in the fall.

OP, what grades are your kids in?

My kids are at a school meant for 300 kids and there are currently 800 students at their MCPS school increasing to over 900 for FALL 2022. How does that compare to your ACPS? We're actually planning to move out of state because we feel MCPS is terrible.

You must be at Clarksburg. So sorry about the situation there. But it really is an outlier. About half of MCPS elementary schools are overcapacity, and most to a lesser degree than that.

Actually according to the current year list above, only a third of ESs are overcapacity.

And about half the HS are overcapacity, not to a lesser extent. We’re talking hundreds of kids. The situation at Clarksburg ES is shameful, especially since the lot for the new school has been known for years.

Here's a map that would let you peruse using 2019 numbers: https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=f09bf368ae4d4b7f98e9ef98b4230366&extent=-77.3397,39.0661,-77.0861,39.1698

The demonstrated ignorance here is astounding and embarassing.

Go to the mcps website, www.mcpmd.org and do a search for cip. Click on the .pdf for the HS cluster the school you want want know about is in. You will see their capacity, and enrollment as of 9/30/2021, as well as future forecasts. Know the future forecasts are low in many overcrowded areas.

For the uninitiated, here is the link:

I had posted this link to a section of the CIP earlier this morning. It has all the schools' 9/30/21 capacity and enrollment numbers, as well as 2027-28 projections, together in one chart, so you don't need to open multiple PDFs.

BTW you misspelled "embarrassing."

Because many of the people posting on MCPS threads are private school parents and other trolls.

NP, I hope the OP reviews the chart. Schools with (##) in the 3rd column are currently overcrowded.

We are in Clarksburg Elementary too. Although a couple years late, a new school is being built this summer to address the overcrowding. It will be open in September 2023 school year. To help alleviate the issue for the upcoming school year, MCPS is allowing any Clarksburg elementary family to move to Gibbs ES since that school has space. Finally.
