[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if people in this area know that in many parts of the country each high school has multiple feeders. So 2 or more elementary schools go to one middle school and then two or more middle schools feed into one high school. The idea of only one middle school feeding into a high schools is unusual.[/quote] I think it just shows there are a lot of different scenarios. Sure, a true "pyramid" structure like the one you describe may be common elsewhere, but we have the middle and high schools we have, in the locations where they are, with capacities that aren't always aligned. Split feeders are inevitable. If they could do one thing, it should be to align the capacities of the middle and high schools where possible. So where it would otherwise make sense to have a single 7-8 MS feed to a single HS in FCPS, the HS should have twice the capacity of the MS or, stated differently, the MS should have 50% the capacity of the HS.
