This is really eye opening. Walter Johnson is almost 700 kids OVER capacity?!? But then schools like Shady Grove MS are almost 400 UNDER?!?[/quote]

Why do they insist on busing so many kids all the way from Kensington there when they could attend a school closer to home or at least a less crowded one like Kennedy?[/quote]
The DCC is also overcrowded. [/quote]

Places like BCC and Kennedy are below capacity and could easily help offload nearby schools.[/quote]

Not really, when you look at the 2028–2029 School Year columns. Kennedy is projected to be over capacity by then, and BCC will be at capacity.[/quote]

But they are less crowded than any other nearby school and should be used to reduce the burden on other areas. [/quote]
One of the four criteria for boundaries is stability. Moving some kids just to move them again in a few years isn't their policy.[/quote]

And by the time a study and the associated changes were phased in, those schools are projected to be at capacity anyway. The under/overenrollments aren’t drastic enough to justify the hoops they’d have to jump through for such comparatively small gains. [/quote]
