[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not against HB and admit I wish my kid got in, but I do think they should be just as overcrowded as other schools, ie, if other schools are at 120% capacity, HB should raise it's number to be at 120%.  I would feel the same way if my child did get in.

Their class numbers are actually 80 per grade for middle school grades (I believe they only take 75 via lottery so they have 5 spaces left for "administrative" assignments) - so they should add another 16 spots per grade to go from 100% capacity to 120%.

HB students are already lucky enough to be in a small school environment so the least we can expect is that they share the pain of overcrowding with the rest of APS. [/quote]

Even 16 extra is representative.  The incoming class next year at Swanson is enormous.  It's not just a little bigger that the grade ahead of them, it's a lot bigger.  HB should have taken well over 100 kids this year.[/quote]

Huh.  The 6th grade class at Swanson was smaller than past.

I guess next year’s 6th grade is the boom —-too bad the new MS won’t be ready until 2019.

It’s a fire hazard.[/quote]
