[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please check my math but I  really don't see how Tuckahoe can continue as a neighborhood school.  Just by looking at a map it doesn't look good.

Current Enrollment  528 K-5 students  (Or 541 PreK-5)

[b]There just will not be many left once Reed opens up :[/b]

Walkable to Reed - 186 Students
16040 - 37
16050 - 42
16060 - 41
16061 - 66

[b]Bus to McKinley - 163 (because McKinley will send 281+ walkers to Reed)
16130 - 41
16121 - 10
16120 - 17
16110 - 54
16101 - ~5
16100 - 36[/b]

Walkable to Nottingham - 74 (because Nottingham will send 84 16070 walkers to Reed)
16030 - 38
16031 - 36

186 + 74 + 163 = 423 students to Reed / Nottingham / McKinley.

Currently enrollment at Tuckahoe is 528 K-5 (or 541 PreK-5)

[b]528 - 423 = 105 left at Tuckahoe[/b]

There will be plenty of space for the 16020/16021/16022 PUs at Reed / Nottingham / McKinley because of the students that go to Tuckahoe as an Option.

Finally if any additional space is needed a few PUs can change in the Discovery / Glebe area.

What is the best option for Tuckahoe?  Any alternatives seem to cause havoc across much of NW Arlington.  How can we minimize student impact?[/quote]

Oh no, “Tuckahoe parent”. No, no, no. Those 163 students are being moved to RELIEVE the overcrowding Nottingham parents cleverly outsourced to McKinley.

Now, I fully expect another effort to stuff McKinley so that Nottingham and Discovery enjoy breathing room. But everyone is wise now to potential “mistakes” in the projections.

Sorry Tuckahoe OP. You’re going to have who battle directly with the Nottingham and Discovery PTAs. Boy, I don’t envy you one bit.[/quote]

It's an epic battle pitting the entitled vs entitled.
