[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't blame the HB PAC for the over-the-top plan design at the Wilson School. I blame them for fighting so hard against adding more students and growing the size of the school. When you have elementary schools like Oakridge projected to top off at 866 students this fall, it really rubs people the wrong way to hear HB parents whine that the program must "remain small" to preserve the quality of their program. HB's combined middle and high school enrollment this fall is projected to be 702 students-- that makes HB smaller than five of our county elementary schools (Claremont, Key, Oakridge, Taylor, and McKinley). HB needs to be part of the overcrowding solution instead of just whining that they "deserve" to remain small since they "gave up" the Stratford building. I don't think the HB parents fully understand how badly they came off to the rest of the Arlington community during those discussions-- but that is exactly why the HB backlash has grown so much over the past two years.

I don't have direct experience with H-B but I can see why it's not scalable. You want to kill a successful program? I don't. Create another H-B. Or two. In the career center and ed center.

APS should take back all of the old schools (community centers) and stop trying to cram so many kids into so few schools.
