[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. My 6th grader's largest class this year was in the low 20s. Her writing class had 15 students, like a private school. Great librarians and school library. Wonderful to have use of the indoor track and lovely auditorium shared with the county. Good band, orchestra, chorus, school gardens, tennis courts.  Real math challenge and strong instruction. Solid grade counselor. Was nervous about Jefferson but happy thus far.

Its ridiculous that we have so much capacity at the middle school level, but we can't swap HB into a high school only program and return those seats to their spacious neighborhood schools and allow HB to absorb more from the overcrowded high schools AND allow MORE students to participate in HB with its long waitlist.[/quote]

Wakefield is the only overcrowded high school right now. Career Center and Arlington Tech HS projects will solve the future capacity issues. APS has it all figured out, but of course not everyone will be happy. High school capacity planning and projects in Fairfax County are aimed the 2500 - 3000 student high school, so Arlington is not an outlier here. With the exception of the small Meridian HS in Falls Church and the H-B Woodlawn Program, most of the Northern Virginia high schools will have a similar range of student numbers. [/quote]
