[quote=Anonymous]I looked at the numbers for projected K students, how many K classes that would have translated into, the actual number of K classes and the actual number of 1st grade classes for the NA neighborhood elementaries. For some schools I needed to make guesses on actual classes because they don't list the classes on the web page and I had to try to figure it from the general staff directory; if anyone sees errors there, let me know.

From what I can tell, there are two schools that have fewer K class this year than last spring's projections would have predicted - Nottingham (4 projected; appears to be 3) and Glebe (5 projected, appears to be 4). Both of those schools also appear to have one fewer K class than 1st grade class this year. Glebe is interesting, I wouldn't have expected it to be on that list, but maybe it has 4 really big classes and just missed the cut-off for a fifth. But if enrollment numbers there are dropping, that could have interesting implications for capacity around ASFS/Key given its proximity to ASFS.

Other schools that appear to have fewer kindergarten classes than first grade classes this year (but class numbers in line with projections): Ashlawn (5 K/6 1st), Discovery (4 K /5 1st), Tuckahoe (4 K/5 1st).

Other than the Glebe outlier, it tends to suggest that moving an option program somewhere that would use up excess capacity when Reed opens makes sense. I'm not convinced that Nottingham is the answer (taking away trailer most of the trailer capacity in the NW seems like a risky proposition), it could go to Tuckahoe or Jamestown as well, or to Carlin Springs and have the Ashlawn boundary cross 50.[/quote]
