[b]The issue is that ES is K-5 so incoming Kers in the next two years will still be in ES when the next crop from the new development comes in.[/b] Also, as a PP noted, the MS and HS become over capacity.  Per MCPS, JWMS will be over capacity in five years, and this is *after* they expanded JW a few years ago.  JWMS is one of the largest MS in the county - over 1400 capacity. That is bigger than  some HS in the county. MS shouldn't be *that* big.[/quote]

Either Beall has the capacity, or Beall doesn't have the capacity, no?

According to the at-a-glance from last year, Julius West was projected to be under capacity at least through 2023-2024.  Richard Montgomery is currently over capacity and was projected last year to continue being over capacity at least through 2023-2024, but part of the plan for the new high school at Crown is to add high school capacity for the area.

I don't understand what you're arguing for. The city of Rockville shouldn't allow the buildings to be built? MCPS should build more (and smaller) schools? The city of Rockville shouldn't allow the buildings to be built until MCPS has built new schools for the students from those buildings to go to?[/quote]
Nope, MCPS redid their capacity planning, and JWMS is projected to be over capacity in 2024

Check Appendix towards the end.

I'm arguing for Rockville to stop building until they can get school capacity under control, especially for RMHS.  So yes, until Crown is built to alleviate over crowding at RMHS, they need to stop building housing units.

BTW that same link shows RPES at over capacity now and in 5 years time, and this is even with the new ES now operating.[/quote]
