[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You aren’t going to see any more HB movement. Unless you’re talking about kids getting into privates. That’s it. The list is pretty much set.[/quote] Unfortunately, this is true. HB should be expanding 6th and 9th to help share the burden, but they have powerful protectors. [/quote] What does "share the burden" even mean? There are 6,000 middle schoolers and 7,500 high schoolers in Arlington. HB has 241 middle schoolers and 450 high schoolers, they account for 4% and 6% of total enrollment. You could DOUBLE the size and it wouldn't make a dent in enrollment at any of the comprehensive schools, you'd be removing 1 1/2 classrooms per grade per school. It would actually create a lot of costs because they would have to add a lot of classrooms for them at HB where now they are spread across all those grades and schools and included in existing ratios.
