[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will be 326 kids this year spread out over how many grades? [/quote]

The whole school. They don’t have a grade breakdown. Only division breakdown.

That’s a close to 50% drop from their norm. [/quote]

You are [b]deliberately[/b] misleading.  Define "norm" in this case and from what year are you citing this "norm"?   You give yourself away as a hater and non affiliate of SSFS.  There are plenty of other school forums to gaslight.  Try one for the school your kids currently attend.  [/quote]

“Norm” is somewhere between 600 and their max capacity of 700. This is literally going off the schools published numbers. Do you think they had to close when they dropped to 460 - which was almost 100 less then their worst case projections of 550 - means 460 was some kind of norm too? And 326 is a norm? The school has hovered in the 600s for a long time that’s why it’s the “norm” why is that gaslighting?

700 is their max capacity. A few years they had hit max capacity. But then dropped to 620 which was closer to their historical norm. 326 is 50% of 652 and which makes it about 50% of the norm. What else can to call it? [/quote]

Thank you for this post, rooted in actual facts.  When my child started at SSFS 2 years ago, on the website it said there were 690 kids enrolled. At the start of this year, the number on the school’s website was 620. At the first meeting with the interim HOS after closure, she said we were at 495 hence the closure. And now we are at 326.

50% is right.  The aggressive and defensive posts are making supporters of the school look bad. My personal opinion is that the posts from parents saying we love the school, we are staying and hoping things will be better eventually, but acknowledge the school will now have a different, very “small school”experience seems honest and actually more compelling to future families.[/quote]
