Are there any schools in MoCo that have space?

Yes but they are all further north or east in less desirable areas with lower performing scores. They probably need to move the magnets up there to rebalance things which does seem to work. Blair's magnet and possibly RM's magnet would move to one of the under-enrolled and low performing school clusters. This would alleviate the overcrowding at Blair and RM. The overcrowding situation is worst at Blair so I guess that would be the first one to go.[/quote]

[quote]Nah, they just need to rebalance things around the segregated schools.[/quote]

[quote]Many of the W's are also under capacity seems like the perfect place to start.[/quote]

Except none of the W middle or high schools are under capacity. Too many people move there in the later grades to escape their local low performing MS/HS.. You've got under enrolled ES and overenrolled HS. There are a good number people in the W schools looking at relocating to VA or who have already made the move but they get replaced with people leaving lower performing school clusters so you don't end up freeing up space there.

The only schools with room are Seneca Valley, Kennedy, Springbrook etc that are further out and lower scoring. My money is on the magnets moving first. Its easier than full scale diversity bussing.  [/quote]
