[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the current MS enrollments? Is Hamm, which was low to begin with, even lower? Why is it not involved in the boundary shift? Did more kids materialize there? Is that why only TJ and Gunston are involved? Also, we can see from AEM that people don’t actually want to walk their kids to school, or hub stops. It’s almost like “walkable” is code for something else.[/quote]

Hamm - 854 (+16.3% since June 2020)
Shriver - 7
Gunston - 1,114 (-0.7% since June 2020)
HB - 243
Jefferson - 852 (-21.1% since June 2020)
Kenmore - 932 (-6.5% since June 2020)
Swanson - 891 (-8.1% since June 2020)
Williamsburg - 791 (-17.9% since June 2020)
Virtual - 204

Overall MS enrollment is -3.4% vs. June 2020.[/quote]

Isn't this why they built a 6th middle school? These numbers look nice!

It is more helpful to see these numbers in relation to building capacity.

Hamm 854 (Building capacity 1000)
Gunston 1,114 (Building capacity 992)
Jefferson 852 (Building capacity 1,086)
Kenmore 932 (Building capacity 1,045)
Swanson 891 (Building capacity 948)
Williamsburg 791 (Building Capacity 997)

So you can see why they feel pressed to deal with Gunston but just generally don't want to upset the apple cart until they see where things land post covid.

Down the road, they likely need to move kids out of Swanson though.  And the parents really fight that.[/quote][/quote]
