[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Way to small to be a middle school.  They won’t do co-location either, they floated that balloon and apologized.

They will rename the school.[/quote]

What? The plans show a school BIGGER than the existing GW middle school. Of course they are planning on making it a K-8. And if they aren't, then it is through sheer ignorance or gross negligence.[/quote]

It will be more than 100,000 square feet according to the last round of plans. So 2/3 the size of the new MacArthur.  What is the square footage of GW?

GM lost the most kids over the last few years and post-pandemic continues to lose kids and is under capacity. It's been ACPS' overflow school for years even pre-pandemic. It makes absolute sense for it to be K-8.

As for renaming how about Gregory Hutchings Elementary? He has really strong supporters in the neighborhood. I've seen some of those moms do some pretty nasty things to defend him during his time as super.

According to the City's website GWMS is 286,000 square feet.

This is really helpful. George Mason is currently just over 70K square feet. ACPS says it will be another 60K square feet. So it will be pretty close in size to the new MacArthur and that's an enormous building.

Is MacArthur built on a spring like GM will be? [/quote]
