[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - Ignore the Nottingham troll. It’s a tired, old shtick and people don’t fall for it anymore. Expect to see the troll anytime crowding at McKinley is mentioned. [/quote]

Will do! But I'm confused over the background story/history.[/quote]

A short version is that when APS was doing some last minute boundary refinements and had the option to move some planning units out of Nottingham and to other schools, including McKinley, the Nottingham community rallied hard and successfully pushed all the units away.  The McKinley community tried to point out to APS that the forecasting numbers they were using were wrong and they were going to drastically overcrowd McK, but APS listened to the louder voices and used their own forecasting numbers.  Fast-forward two years, APS admits they made a mistake and their math was wrong. [b] One of the Nottingham parents who was most vocal has privately apologized to some McKinley parents, and McKinley is drastically overcrowded while there is space at both Nottingham and Discovery.[/b]

The good news for OP's family with young kids is that in 2021 when her little one is in school the opening of Reed will hopefully provide relief to all the schools in the area, including McKinley, so this will be ancient history.[/quote]

Why would she apologize for winning  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen: ?[/quote]

Because the parent realized it's about 800+ real, live kids who lost and are crammed into a school more than 100 kids over capacity. [/quote]
