This is really eye opening. Walter Johnson is almost 700 kids OVER capacity?!? But then schools like Shady Grove MS are almost 400 UNDER?!? |

MCPS has a stated goal to have utilization at 80-100%. WJ and the DCC will ship a bunch kids off to Woodward. Crown will open helping several HS's. Don't know of plans for Shady Grove or other MS's. |

| If Takoma Park and Eastern both have so many empty seats, why don't they expand the magnet programs to allow more kids to attend each year? |

The common spaces at overcrowded. They need to remodel the cafeteria and gym and auditorium. The building hasn't been updated since the 70's or earlier |

They're both in the 80-100% level MCPS considers ideal. |

Isn't Blair even worse? |

Yes, it's far away from everything and in an underpopulated part of the county. |

Blair is bigger but WJ is more overcrowded. |

Why do they insist on busing so many kids all the way from Kensington there when they could attend a school closer to home or at least a less crowded one like Kennedy? |
