[quote=Anonymous]It was expected that 300 kids (gen ed kids) would ultimately slide from Jackson to Thoreau.  So, TMS is prepared to handle 300.  The question is whether that is the extent of it, or whether it will be more in 2019-20.

It was supposed to be roughly 150 7th graders and 150 8th graders (by the time 2019-20 rolled around).  So, since they have roughly 275-300 coming this fall, we know that 150 would be the gen ed rising 7th graders.... that means that another 125+ are rising 8th graders and/or AAP kids (from OHS pyramid) who could have gone to Jackson.

Either way, there are still going to be plenty of kids for Jackson's AAP center to exist and there are still going to be plenty of students at Jackson (non-AAP).  It's not going away.

I don't think the numbers mean that the rezoning is "blowing up in FCPS's faces" -- it just means that there is demand for Thoreau that is happening in the first year rather than over two years.  There are only so many kids who are required to go to Thoreau and only so many who have the option to choose it.
