[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Seems like the location across from WJ would make the most sense, given that the most crowded schools are nearby--Farmland, Garrett Park, Ashburton.[/b][/quote]

Garrett Park is 12 miles away from Stratton, which would take a bus over a half an hour to get from the Garret Park neighborhood to the school during rush hour.

Farmland is 8 miles away and that could take up to an hour to get there during rush hour.

Ashburton, yes - this location would be ideally optional.

Garrett Park & Farmland would not be ideal at all, as the time mentioned includes one drop off spot, that's without picking up multiple kids at multiple locations.

Having to accomplish that would add up to 20 additional minutes onto the morning and afternoon commute.

Having to sit through over an hour commute each way (twice a day) is a LOT for an elementary school kid.[/quote]

8 miles away from what?[/quote]

The pp in the bold is suggesting that Stratton be used to accommodate the over crowding at Garrett Park & Farmland, since they are "nearby"(two schools that are nowhere near Stratton Park).[/quote]

Farmland ES and Garrett Park ES are both about 4 miles (by car) from Stratton Local Park. Not 12, not 8. You could WALK there in an hour.[/quote]
