[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think one middle school is projected to be at 140% capacity. can anyone from other jurisdiction who've experienced this before share any positive aspect of overcrowding schools? or put it another way, did it turn out not as bad as you thought? i'm talking about from parents/students perspective. tks.

APS has said they will construct additional space, just like they have in the past. There is also a contingency fund for such projects that don't fall into the bond cycle. A third N Arlington middle school would be nice, but there's no chance of reopening Stratford Jr High with the HB Woodlawn program housed there.

[quote=Anonymous] Patrick Henry is an original school with zero changes since the late 50's.  North Arlington gets things like WL and water parks.  [/quote]

The original Henry was built in the 20s. Patrick Henry was rebuilt in the 70s when the career center next door was built, and it was completely renovated about 10 years ago. It is one of the newer schools, and along with Oakridge one of the better schools in South Arlington.[/quote]
