[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does that many students fit into one high school?

This is scary and very sad. How is this acceptable to anyone?[/quote]

Actually the common sentiment in Alexandria is that additional high schools would be so inequitable that it's viewed as racist to even bring it up.[/quote]

because the White neighborhoods will go to the new school[/quote]

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. The new HS would be in the West End, where immigrants and people of color are the majority. The white neighborhoods would stay zoned for TC/ACHS. [/quote]

Okay. So same problem. The schools would be segregated. Which I think is the post that PP was trying to make.

Listen, I'm in ACPS and I am also concerned about the overcrowding issues currently happening at ACHS, but has anyone driven past the addition at Minnie Howard??? It's HUGE. Honestly, it looks like they are building an entire additional school but that it's "one school, two campuses." Why are people against the two campuses thing? Especially with such a big addition underway that will certainly expand capacity. Are capacity constraints so challenging that a whole other high school is needed? Whenever I hear the school is crowded and another school needs to be built, it's like people forget they are literally building this huge multilevel addition to minnie howard. Or that the underlying motivation is indeed, segregating certain populations.
