[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm thinking of making it my mission to take down HB. It is so unfair. Shouldn't be funding this "lucky 75" stuff with public funds. Cue the HB parents now calling me bitter .... 3, 2, 1. What's wrong with being bitter over this?[/quote]

I wish you luck!  It's absurd that children who could actually benefit from this school are locked out b/c parents are using it as an escape route form overcrowding.  It's absurd that it's numbers are artificially low.  The incoming 6th grade classes next year are huge.  Why is HB only 75?  Why are they spending SO much money on a school for so few?  I abhor so much about this situation.   [/quote]

It is grotesque! [/quote]

I tried last year.  My “word of mouth” campaign was unsuccessful :).  Hopefully, somebody with more time and persistence can take up the cause.  I will be a strong supporter.[/quote]

We should at least advocate for their numbers to increase as overall APS enrollment increases.  The program can be just as successful with slightly larger class sizes. To always remain at just 100% capacity while other schools are overcrowded just doesn't make sense. [/quote]

They have increased the size of H-B twice recently and it will increase in the new building. H-B's high school capacity is 390 and its enrollment last year was 451, so they are at 115%--that is actually the highest for any high school. High school will be 475 in the new building. Middle school program is 221 at capacity and they have 249 kids this year, for 113% capacity, higher than three of the other middle schools. It will be 300 in the new building. They have relocatables at the current location. They lost a parking lot due to county construction. Stop with the fake news.  [/quote]
