[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deal is over capacity by what 15-20%? Aren't Janney, Lafayette and Murch over capacity by about the same amount? Why no outcry to address that issue? Redistrict those schools? [/quote]

Janney may be. Murch isn't and Lafayette isn't.[/quote]

From page 11:

Murch 86% in bounds / 14% OOB (620 students / 488 building capacity) 
Janney 94% in bounds / 6% OOB (693 students / 570 building capacity) 
Lafayette 87% in bounds / 13% OOB (697 students / 516 building capacity)

Doesn't look like Deal is any more overcrowded than Janney and Janney is the best in the city right? [/quote]

Murch and Lafayette are both being rebuilt. Lafayette's building will hold up to 700. Not sure about Murch but I suspect the same.[/quote]

Even if you only take Janney, they are 21% over capacity. Why is it ok for Janney but not Deal to be over capacity? While we're talking about Deal, we should address Janney at the same time right?[/quote]

The crowding at Deal isn't that bad, and not worse than Janney. Everyone IB is willing to put up with it. I doubt that the most zealous posters in these threads are IB for Janney. One PP upthread said she's IB for CHEC.  That's a stronger set of motivations than reducing minor crowding.

Maybe that one person, but historically (and at DME meetings) Janney parents have been the most vocal in both keeping Janney boundaries where they are as well as complaining about overcrowding at Deal.[/quote]
