[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with Julius West is that it has too many students.  It will be over 1500 next year.  The classes are packed and you have too many kids who need attention.  Some students end up taking up all the time from teachers and admin due to behavior problems.[/quote]

How is this possible? Are you telling us that the rising 6th grade class has 600?!? Current 7th grade is about 400, current 6th grade is around 500.[/quote]

I believe someone said 620 kids at the meeting.  [/quote]

:shock:

That is terrible [/quote]

Wait until all the overdevelopment is completed, including the housing at Twinbrook Quarter.  Plus there are a good number of townhomes and apartments that will fill up near Metro.  JW will be completely overwhelmed.  Developers say that kids don’t live in apartments/condos/townhouses, but with the changing demographics, that is no longer the case.

These large middle schools are horrible for the kids.  Especially at this age.[/quote]

The new Twinbrook Development is already part of Wooten.[/quote]

No, Twinbrook Quarter [which is between Rockville Pike and Chapman Ave] is mostly part of WJ.[/quote]
