[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Janney was overcapacity the day it opened after renovation?[/quote]

That is why it is being renovated again right now. The new second floor addition will be ready for the Fall. Increasing capacity was the justification for the second renovation and there are more slots available as a result, pre-K 4 optional seats were significantly expanded for 2014. Murch is preparing for a major expansion as part of the modernization process. Two "bins" have been contracted and a 750+ school is being envisioned by the Murch principal. Hearst is fully utilized with a new optional pre-K 3 program, one of the first in Ward 3. Lafayette is expecting a decrease in enrollment.

[b]Ward 3 overcrowding is a bit of an urban legend and/or will soon be resolved with the Murch modernization. [/b]

DCPS insiders say that the enrollment numbers will likely continue to decrease. DCPS may actually be accelerating this process with this boundary exercise that is scaring young parents. I know several over the last few months who moved straight to Bethesda, skipping DCPS for elementary. We thought we could at least handle the early years in DCPS, but I am not sure if we have the stomach for it anymore.[/quote]

Tell that to the trailers at Key. Tell that to the 80+ inboundary families at Stoddert waitlisted for pre-K.[/quote]

who wants to go to an elementary school with more than 750 kids? Seems like a zoo.[/quote]
