[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]fwiw, Thoreau is definitely not going to become a center in the next few years. It has about 100 kids in each aap grade this year. not sure they know how many they will have next year. To some extent, the severe over-crowding at LJMS may have the effect of encouraging Thoreau-zoned aap kids to stay at Thoreau. LJMS is expecting 1600 kids next fall --which makes it severely overcrowded, while TMS is expecting 950 - which is still about 400 undercapacity.[/quote] 1600?!? Are they adding more trailers? The hallways, cafeteria, etc cannot take it. The overcrowding has a very negative impact. I think people who have a choice need to look seriously at Thoreau though I do hear reports of low academic standards and social pressures. I was so ready to be done with Luther Jackson, middle school is hard anywhere, but LJMS was very far from a wholesome experience. If I could do it over, I would look at private schools for 7-12.
