[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney was great about 4 years ago when it was at 550 students. Now it's close to 800 and it really feels like a huge school. The grades are 5 classes each. It's far more difficult to make family friends or feel connected because the kids are switched around each year and the cohort for each grade is so large so each kid is only forwarded with 1-3 from the previous year. School-wide events (Halloween, etc) are just a zoo. I could go on and on. Things have changed (and not for the better) since the school doubled in size. [/quote] They're going to have to adjust Janney boundaries. The good news will be that Hearst will become much more of a neighborhood school, which is important if you believe in a system of strong neighborhood elementary schools as DCPS purports to be.[/quote]
