It's all relative.[/quote]

And your point is?  What does school system size have to do with this discussion? [/quote]

It has everything to do with ACPS. Alexandria City has had on of the highest earned incomes for decades yet the Mayorships under Ticer, Kerry, Euille leadership declined to funnel money to improve our public educational system. It's only been recently that the money to ACPS has flowed (as opposed to developers).

I understand there is debate about the right amount of funding for schools, the capacity crunch, and who is responsible for not building more capacity earlier, and whether that should have been done (someone else here seems to think that the earlier rebuilds were adequate, and that the recent funding increase was a "blank check", I can't say I agree).    But I still don't see why posting the total enrollment is relevant to that.   You aren't posting spending per student, or enrolloment growth,  just the absolute size of the system. You seem to think this shows something, but I am not clear what it is.[/quote]
