[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only one MS? How is it possible then for McLean HS to be overcrowded??? [/quote] It's just a function of the building sizes. There are two grades at Longfellow and four grades at McLean. Longfellow has a design capacity of 1374 seats, so in theory McLean should have twice that many seats (2748 seats). But instead McLean only has 1993 permanent seats. McLean doesn't need 2748 seats now because some Longfellow kids go to TJ and privates, but it needs more than 1993 permanent seats. Unfortunately, facilities planning in FCPS has been a disaster for years. This is just one example where there's a mismatch between the capacities of schools within a pyramid. They are currently renovating Cooper, the middle school feeder to Langley, but leaving it with less than 1/2 the number of seats at Langley. [/quote] What does that mean - leaving it at half the number of seats at Langley?[/quote]
