[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It made so much sense geographically to redistrict.  Thoreau had alot of excess capacity and already drew a portion of Oakton kids who went to Flint Hill ES and the majority of Marshall Rd ES kids.  Jackson was incredibly overcrowded.  AAP Level IV Center stays at Jackson.  If Thoreau's AAP-lite program continues to improve (which based on the rapid rise in TJ admits it seems to be getting stronger) it's only natural that more parents will want to keep their kids in their base MS but I don't think this is the death knell of AAP at Luther.  I guess only time will tell... [/quote]

Based on what I'm hearing pretty much the entire AAP classes at these schools is now headed to TMS.  That's 5 full classes (about 150 kids).  Apparently this number was not factored into TMS numbers on increase in student volume (can someone confirm this?).  That would probably result in TMS being overcrowded (over 100% capacity).

Well, I actually have a kid in one of the rezoned schools, in the AAP part, and I'm hearing a lot of people are going to LJ.  My kid isn't.  But, s/he says that it sounds like most kids are still going to LJ (especially if they had an older sibling who went there -- families tend to stay with what they know).

I really don't know how it is going to shake out.  I just had the complete opposite impression than you.... but I hope you are right b/c I'd like my kid to have some kids s/he knows at TMS.[/quote]

I'm glad to hear a diff. perspective.  Last thing I want is an overcrowded TMS with teachers not knowing what to to.  I'm not really impressed with the teacher crowd at TMS but picking TMS due to other considerations.  Hoepfully at least 50% of the AAP crowd goes to LJMS.  Makes life easier for those that do go to TMS.[/quote]
