[quote=Anonymous]Here are some numbers on enrollment from the DCPS website for Shaw.

School profile - enrollment = 188

FY 12 Initial allocation - enrollment = 166

FY 13 Projection - enrollment = 109, cost is over $20k/ student

Out of boundary lottery, for grades 6, 7 & 8, 50 seats were offered in each grade (note that this is greater than the budgeted enrollment of 109?)

Grade - number of seats assigned to a student - number on wait list

6th - 9 admitted - 10 on wait list
7th - 1 admitted - 2 on wait list
8th - 2 admitted - 3 on wait list

The students on wait list were not admitted most likely because they were admitted to one of their higher ranked choices.

So, when I see a school like this, I agree with Gray & Henderson -- close this school.  Very expensive to run, for almost no one, and no one wants to come anyway.

The stats for MacFarland Middle School are very similar.  A very small school, with more slots offered in the OOB lottery than applicants.  So small, and getting smaller.[/quote]
