[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have numbers for enrollment, but I was looking at the dashboard and noticed that as of May 2018, LJMS was "open" to transfer (36) and TMS was closed (-22).  Not sure what that  means exactly, but it may indicate that LJMS is now right-sized rather than over crowded.

I also noticed that Rocky Run (as of last year) had nearly 800 AAP kids out of 1300!  That is insane.  We had a contract on a house in that zone and really wanted it.  The contract fell through and we ended up elsewhere.  But, dang!  That is NOT o.k. for IN ZONE non-AAP kids to be overwhelmed in their own school.  For the sake of my non-AAP kid, I guess there was some divine intervention in losing out on that house.  It also explains a lot of what we saw at the curriculum night -->  complete madness and near-trampling in the halls and then almost nobody in the non-AAP discussion session.  When we were released, we noticed that the AAP discussion group was still going on.  We peeked into the gymnasium and realized that THAT'S where everyone went!

The same thing is happneing at Carson.

Then you have schools like South County that have 80 kids in an AAP grade.  It seems like the school board should strive to have more even (not necessarily "equal") programs in different schools.

Stone Middle school has less than 800 kids total!  Surely they could balance out the middle school programs such that schools like Liberty or Stone take some kids and reduce the monster that has overtaken Rocky Run and Carson.

I have one who was not in AAP and one who is.  Both kids deserve to have a program that is not dominated by one or the other.

It wouldn't make sense for any Carson students to go to Liberty or Stone. The Franklin-based students should just go back to Franklin. That's what would make the most sense, especially since Franklin has AAP teachers already.[/quote]
