[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northwood is much much smaller so that's either a disadvantage or an advantage.[/quote]

But it will have a lot of room to grow larger starting next year at the holding school.[/quote]

But it's unlikely the enrollment will increase or decrease dramatically in the next year. I think Northwood is at least 1000 students less than Wheaton and that changes the whole feel of the school. OP, can you visit either of them?

Wheaton's enrollment is 2500 and Northwood's is 1800. But it stands to reason they will assign more kids to Northwood for next year since they will be in a larger capacity building going forward.[/quote]

It's 2600 and 1800. You mean through the lottery? Because the boundary process will take a while so the boundaries won't change but I guess they could just allocate more spots through the lottery. There has been no indication this would happen though and I would think they would be hiring more teachers if they thought they would expand in a significant way.[/quote]

The reason they start the HS choice processes in the fall is so they can be mostly settled by February/March, when they start calculating the following year's teacher allocations.[/quote]
