How many schools are under capacity and can the surrounding schools absorb new students, probably not.  [/quote]

There are a whole lot more under capacity schools than over capacity schools. To the point where MCPS can even close the over capacity schools, and their surrounding schools can absorb all those students that were in the over capacity school and still have extra room. MCPS doesn’t want you to know this cause then their budget might have to shrink (gasp). The more people think their schools are overcrowded the easier it is to keep asking for more money.[/quote]

Which schools are under capacity and then you also need busses/drivers, etc. to get them there?  You keep saying there are a lot of under capacity but which ones?[/quote]

Just to name a few elementary schools  with more than 100 seats (a good number of these have over 200) going down each cluster in alphabetical order…
BCC  - North Chevy Chase, Rosemary Hills, Somerset, Westbrook
Churchill - Beverly Farms, Wayside, 
Clarksburg - Snowden Farm, Wilson Wims
Damascus - Cedar Grove
DCC - Montgomery Knolls, Pine Crest, Sligo Creek, Takoma Park, Veirs Mill, Weller Road
Gaithersburg - Gaithersburg, Goshen, Laytonsville
WJ - Kensington Parkwood, Wyngate

There is way too many to keep listing them all. It is much easier to list the schools that are 100 seats over capacity.

These are elementary schools.  Not a big deal.  It’s more of an issue that the Ms and hs are at or over capacity. [/quote]

Ms are the same - even less schools over capacity. Just go check.[/quote]
