[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids at Westland now, and want to point out that in some ways it was better when it was over crowded. We lost some of the best teachers (because people were allowed to stay based on seniority) and after all those students left for Silver Creek they cut some language and arts options due to low enrollment. [/quote] NO surprise there. Many parents warned of this when MoCo cut support for the 6th grades at NCCES and CCES, and instead of fighting those cuts, some parents asked for the new middle school and others warned of exactly what you describe - fewer academic opportunities due to smaller student population in 2 split schools. Westland has always been called “wasteland” by the students themselves because a boring and unchallenging environment meant that kids focused on social interaction (sex, drinking, smoking, social media, popularity, etc.) in what were ultimately pretty negative ways.
