[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please see the notes and videos from the state of the school. There are several options being explored for the current third graders. The current 3rd grade is the bubble year, and the recent projections for enrollment have been spot on. To the exact number of students for 2015. The new principal is very forthcoming about information and seems very organized. If you have concerns I would strongly encourage you to talk to her.

isn't the current first grade just as large?

My son's first grade class has 24 kids in it.[/quote]

That is the same size the current third grade was at 1st grade. 
(24 or 25 kids per class x 5 classes)
When they turn that class into 4 classes come third grade there will also be 30/31 kids per class. 
The cohort is just as large. 
Plus the school always gains a few kids per class each year (in second grade, third grade etc) as more families move into the neighborhood. [/quote]

....and those that move out are allowed to stay.  Maybe enforcing boundary rules would help?  If 2 children in each classroom of the upper grades moved to their new IB school we would be having a different conversation.  [/quote]
