[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know if they are planning to expand the number of students at Duke? Why else is half the school empty? Are there plans to use that space for something else?[/quote] Yes the enrollment is going up, but it won't double. Half the school is not empty. Essentially the school has two parts - one is traditional classrooms and is used 6 periods a day for regular high school classes (ELA, Math, History, etc). The other part of the building has space for each of the disciplines (instrumental music, visual art, theatre, vocal, dance...). Those parts are used 3 hours a day during the arts block (from 2-5 pm). As an arts high school its space requirements for students is greater than other DCPS high schools. [/quote]
