Even Mayor voted for building more apartments in RM cluster despite [b]schools being at 120%[/b].

She made a U turn regarding overcrowding. She voted to oppose the increase from 110% to 120% few years ago. But now she thinks it's perfectly all right to keep building more even after 120%.

Just avoid RM cluster. It's not for families who value education. With 3 kids, we made a poor choice and it will be hard to move out, but you don't need to make the same mistake.[/quote]

[b]Which schools in the Richard Montgomery cluster are currently at 120%[/b]?[/quote]

The RM cluster lobbied for years to get a new elementary school to alleviate overcrowding.  Until this current school year, 3 of the 4 cluster ES were at 130%+
According to statistics from last year's boundary study, without the new school being built, this year's projected enrollment at Beall would have been 133%, College Gardens 129%, and Ritchie Park 141%. Twinbrook was lowest at just over 100%  Overcrowding at these schools has been problem for a long time and was finally JUST alleviated this year.  Why re-create the problem all over again??  RM is overcrowded with MCPS projections showing it as increasingly overcrowded in the next 5 years.  There is already an issue with portables and science classrooms - why make it even worse for current and future students?[/quote]

In other words, none of them.[/quote]
