[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez.  I remember when upcounty redistricting happened we asked lower county families to get involved and help us fight because whatever happened to us would eventually happen to you when Crown opened.  No support given.  [b]Well, our ES is now split articulated AND our MS is split articulated.[/b]  Kids have to adjust friend groups twice.  We got sent from Rocky Hill MS (back then an outstanding school) and Clarksburg HS (good enough) to Neelsville (the old building called “the prison on the hill”) which no one wanted their kid in and Seneca Valley HS (the new building at least which is beautiful but is definitely not as good a school as Clarksburg - at least back then).  And the first year fights were happening in the halls of SV on the daily.  It was ridiculous.  Your time has come.  We have survived, our kids are doing well, yours will too.  [b]Are some people really complaining about moving from fabulous Churchill to fabulous Wooten? Please[/b] 🙄[/quote]

It's puzzling.[/quote]

Question for you.  Which is the harder transition?  I hate all of these split articulations but was thinking that if they absolutely need to do them, they might be better at the ES level than the MS level.  Thoughts?[/quote]

Def preferred to split from ES since in most cases ES class is 60-120 kids joining another 200-300 kids. Being one of 30 out of 300 instead of 60 of 300 isn’t much of a difference. Alternative to that would be keeping ES to MS but then having ES split for HS so long as it was an even split of MS to HS[/quote]
