[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd move a mile down the road and buy in the Jamestown district. My friend's fourth grader there has 21 students in her class.[/quote]

There are severe capacity issues on the horizon in North Arlington:

If you want to move into that the Jamestown district with these uncertainties, go ahead.   It is one way to hold down the enrollment at Haycock, but people may end up in over-crowded schools at all three levels (elementary, middle and high school) in Arlington instead.    [/quote]

The trailer thing is over. It's a non-issue at Jamestown now.

Even with the capacity issues in Arlington, class sizes will remain much lower relative to Fairfax and Haycock.

The new Williamsburg ES will be built within a year or so, and that will absorb much of the capacity.

My 2nd grader has 23 in her class. My 4th grader has 21.

K registration is lower than expected b/c parents who know they'll be rezoned for the new ES are holding off.[/quote]
