[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emails went out that the Skyview kids will be getting Academic Counseling soon. I am hoping that we have a better idea about the class size for the 9th and 10th graders tomorrow night. I would guess that there is a higher number of 9th graders then 10th graders. [/quote]

Given that taxpayers across the county are funding this new school, they really should be transparent about the number of students opting in and whether they plan to open up enrollment to students outside the designated five pyramids.

But they've boxed themselves in.  If they limit enrollment to students in the five pyramids and don't get 1000 kids opting in, it demonstrates their opt-in model didn't meet expectations.  If they start welcoming students from other pyramids, people will say Reid was more intent on opening a quasi-magnet than focusing on overcrowding relief at Chantilly or other schools.      [/quote]

I can confirm they have 500 for each grade[/quote]

Interesting, I heard 650 total but no breakdown on the 9th vs 10th grade. The email sent out to my student mentioned that they had spots and that students outside of the 5 HS could apply to attend but it did not mention the process. I am hoping we get the numbers tomorrow night. [/quote]

Well official numbers may be a bit less. Admin at the school feel confident they will have 500 9th and at least 450 10th[/quote]

That I can believe but I don’t think that they are there yet but no one has publicly said what the numbers are, which is kind of ridiculous.[/quote]
