[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taylor has to have a huge boundary now in order to keep it open. Looking at the map, there are so many parts of the Taylor zone that are actually closer to other schools. [/quote]

Glebe and Science Focus are both over capacity. Innovation has a lot of new housing coming online, including high rise CAF buildings, so they have been careful to leave space there. The realistic scenario for closing Taylor would mean most of those kids going to Jamestown or Discovery, which isn't any better. It's got to be Tuckahoe, Nottingham, Discovery or Jamestown.

Glebe is only over capacity because APS was trying to empty Nottingham.  There are kids at Glebe in the walk zone for Cardinal who could have been zoned there, and kids at Cardinal in the walk zone for Nottingham who could have been zoned there.  It makes feeder patterns for Glebe hard because those kids, who should really be at Cardinal, don't track with classmates for middle or high school.  [/quote]
