[quote=Anonymous]One of the PP’s briefly touched on one of the most important points - the area zoned for Lewis is not generally an area that attracts families. Especially families of school-aged (let alone HS-aged) kids. People buy a starter home and then move and sell when their kid hits K or 1st. Or they live in one of the various apartment buildings and don’t have kids. Much of the area is industrial or commercial. Just moving in a few more SPA’s isn’t going to do anything in the long term because people will place out to Edison for their programs or one of the AP schools for AP classes.

And even moving schools in runs into problems because Franconia ES (zoned for Edison) has Edison’s walkers in its attendance area. Bren Mar Park (also Edison) would likely have to drive past Edison on its way to Lewis and should probably be up at Annandale with the rest of the K-5 schools. North Springfield (Annandale) is also a K-5 situation and sits pretty close to Annandale HS. In West Springfield, West Springfield and Keene Mill elementaries have Irving’s walkers. West Springfield HS boundaries are so compact that just about anyone leaving there is going to have a longer commute wherever they go. Lewis is in a really bad location unfortunately. [/quote]
