[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think:

Westland - Westbrook, Somerset, RCF
New - NCC, Bethesda ES, CCES

This
-balances FARMS, ESOL
-balances school population
-keeps walkers within walking distance (somerset kids in Kenwood are within walking distance to Westland)
-keeps the rosemary hills kids together[/quote]

NP here -- in fairness, I should probably note that my youngest is now in HS, so we won't be directly effected by the new articulation pattern.  That said, however, can anyone address why the split proposed above wouldn't work?  Is the PP incorrect in his/her assumptions about the numbers of students or any other factors that would balance out?     [/quote]

The problem with the suggestion above is that the school populations are not balanced -- many fewer students at Westland, which has the higher capacity.

In 2018-19, Westland would have 777, BCC MS#2 1005, the schools have capacity of 1100 at Westland, 940 at BCC MS#2

There would be many more options to consider if the bigger school were the new school![/quote]
