[quote=Anonymous]The previous thread on "positive momentum" in Alexandia noted the large enrollment increases in Alexandria elementary schools among middle/upper class families (especially on the east side of town) and wondered if that momentum would eventually translate to the Middle School level (6-8 in Alexandria). According to enrollment reports, ACPS had expected 901 students at GW Middle School for 2012-13, but enrollment as of June 21st stood at 1,075. That's a huge one-year increase, and is caused by a much larger entering class of 6th graders than projected. See preliminary enrollment report: http://eboard.acps.k12.va.us/attachments/0536f647-2e91-4735-a5e4-a2b82090f3a9.pdf Enrollment is higher than expected at Francis Hammond, too. I'm glad more Alexandrians are questioning the conventional wisdom that middle school is the time to go private or move to Fairfax County/Arlington. [/quote]
