[quote=Anonymous]My impression is that the kids/parents at OES were much more excited about getting rezoned than the kids/parents at MWES.   The MWES parents that I know were largely happy with it (except for the crowding) and I think that will carry over for a few years.  It's hard to get a real read on the MWES AAP kids b/c they are going to about five different MSs.  Only a smaller subset of the AAP center would have the choice to go to Jackson vs. Thoreau.  So many are already zoned for Lanier, Rocky Run, Frost.

In the past couple of years, about 2 out of 3 Madison pyramid kids stayed at Thoreau rather than go to Jackson.  I think there were about 50 Madison pyramid kids at Jackson for each grade (7th and 8th).

Based on the school profiles, it looks like there are about 26 AAP LL4 kids at OES (some of whom, in the past, would have not been able to go to TMS b/c OES was a split feeder).   Based on the transfer reports, it looks like there are about 59 transfers into MWES per AAP grade.  There are about 93 AAP kids per grade.  That means about 34 kids at MWES are FROM the MWES zone.  So, there are 34 kids who now have the option to choose TMS or LJ for AAP.  (about 15 kids per grade at MWES always had the option to go to TMS vs. LJ b/c they are Marshall Road kids from Madison pyramid -- so they would have been part of the 2 out of 3 previously going to TMS).

So, really, you are looking at 34 AAP kids from MWES + possibly 5 kids from the southern part of MRES ( that used to be LJ zoned) + possibly 13 kids from OES (that used to be LJ zoned).

The rough estimate of kids who now have the option to do TMS AAP (when previously they only had LJ for AAP) = 52.

I would guess that at least half are still going to LJ... very possibly more.  So, that would mean about 20 extra AAP kids at TMS.  Or 20 less AAP kids at LJ.  (Assuming the kids who always had the choice b/c LJ and TMS stays the same.)[/quote]
