[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where might the dividing line be to redistrict people to Wakefield?[/quote]

It's anyone's guess. The transparent boundary process that was successful for the elementary schools would likely be used again. So, county citizens will help draw them up with help from the consultants. [/quote]

Wakefield follow up - do you know if the new school will have a larger capacity, thus pulling in a larger boundary? [/quote]

All three new high schools supposedly have larger capacities than the schools they replaced, so the new Wakefield should also be bigger. I think it's a foregone conclusion that the Wakefield boundary will become much larger because the new school will have a lot of empty seats. But then again nothing could happen and W-L and Yorktown would become surrounded by trailers. [/quote]

When Yorktown and W-L were renovated, APS didn't anticipate the growth in enrollment, so the replacement buildings were actually built for fewer students than the older faciltiies.  Wakefield is being rebuilt last to accommodate roughly 1900 students.  That's larger than Wakefield's enrollment has been any time recently, and W-L is projected to be seriously over-capacity, so it's inevitable that there will be boundary changes.
