[quote=Anonymous]Edison general education enrollment for 2024-25 was 2,111. West Springfield general education enrollment was 2,528. Lewis was 1,474 students, despite being boarded on both sides by huge student populations. Even Mount Vernon, which is another under-populated school, had 1,618. Why would the school board peel off additional students from Lewis? It's not just AP versus IB. The school is starting to become too small to keep its sports teams fully populated, to have enough kids go into its music and drama programs. It doesn't have the depth of student population to feed into its programs. Which starts to create a spiral of people transfering out of the school, which makes the school smaller, which leads to fewer kids to go into programs, and more kids transferring out. If the school board wants to close Lewis, the surrounding neighborhoods need to be prepared to take in an influx of students. [/quote]
