[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am investigating moving to the Westland/BCC district and noticing that a bunch of places in the Westbard and Kenwood area that are basically right next door to Westland but are zoned for Pyle. I mean these are dwellings that are literally a few hundred yards from Westland and three+ miles from Pyle but you have to take your kid out to Pyle? What’s up with that? Is there any flexibility?

I realize that both are good schools but it’s a plus for me to live walking distance from my kids school and I’d rather live closer in[/quote]

Is there any flexibility?  So you'd prefer to have your kids go through elementary school, make friends, and then have to leave them all to go to a different middle school so you don't have to put them on a bus?

Smart plan, OP.  Really sharp.  [/quote]

Back when it was Western Jr High it did have split articulation. Western pulled from westmoreland hills, Westgate, wood acres, Sumner, glen echo heights, etc. The high school borders were the same as they are today (or close to it) but the middle school was not. And in a weirder twist, Western was 7-9th grades.

It was strange to split after middle school, although I left for private school so didn’t actually experience it. [/quote]

That wasn't a "weirder twist", that was "junior high school".[/quote]
