[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 5 more years till my Kids hit deal -- but I'm wondering what you guys think will happen in the next 5 years...

-- [b]I see a lot of people complain about the "size of deal" ... but 500 kids per grade seems to be normal..  (BCC has 600 in their 9th grade class, Whitman has 500) .. are you complaining because the building is too small to house that many kids? What do you think may happen to fix overcrowding?[/b]

-- I know a lot of people that live in crestwood/ 16th street heights are still grandfathered into Deal/Wilson ..I think that only applies to older kids now thouh (they are likely in 9th by now?) Does anyone remember?

-- Do we know what year they will revisit boundaries again?

-- If MacArthur High is approved, are IBs families more likely to stay at deal due to a potential positive effect on wilson?

500-600 per grade is normal for high school but not for middle school. The populations and expectations and support needs are different. That’s the issue.[/quote]

That doesn't make sense -- usually there is one middle and one high school with a bunch of feeder elementarys -- this very very typical. Whitman has 5 elementary that all feed inly Pyle Middle. There fore it should have the same cohort from 6th-12th and same number of students...

I don’t think one MS feeding to one HS is normal. We had 5 ES feed to my MS and two MS feed to my HS. I never heard of 1 feeding to 1 until your post.[/quote]

My MS was the only one that fed my HS. It’s been that way for 50 years, and still is that way. It’s not universal, of course, but it’s a common enough arrangement. [/quote]
