Whatever, what I'm upset about is the supersizing of WL and the overcrowding of the rest of the schools -- that's the root cause of why so many people are desperate to get into HBW.

If the schools were all treated equitably there wouldn't be an sour grapes.  We need a 4th high school FFS.[/quote]

DP.  And if the County and APS hadn't spent years pushing back against building at the Kenmore site, we'd have a fourth high school by now.  Costs have risen over the past ten years and APS' shoe-horning "capacity solutions" onto small sites exacerbates that higher cost.[/quote]

The surrounding neighborhood and then the county and its transportation experts pushed back against the Kenmore site for a 4th neighborhood high school. After years of planning and public input, the “4th high school” will be Arlington Tech, officially a “program” like HB. That’s seems reasonable as students can play sports at their home schools. The neighborhood schools will stay a similar size to the growing FCPS schools. Except for maybe D.C., there has been no desire for local school districts to go back to the smaller 1,300 student high schools common in the older suburbs for a brief period from the 1980s through early 1990s.[/quote]
