[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keene Mill ES (THE big AAP center for WSHS) showed a decrease from 825 at the end of last school year to 740 in September? What’s going on with that?[/quote]

Did one of their feeder schools add level 4 AAP?[/quote]

I’m not sure, I thought they all had LLIV apart from the two schools that go to Sangster instead of KMES for AAP. It did look like last years 6th grade class/this year’s 7th is pretty large, so maybe they just weren’t weren’t replaced by as many kids. But thats still a big drop off. Does anyone know if they had any de-staffing?[/quote]

Orange Hunt and Hunt Valley lost teachers this year.

All of those WSHS feeders are decreasing in size.

It is a shame the FCPS won't do residency checks between elementary > middle school and between middle school > high school.

I suspect if FCPS did residency checks at those transitions, as well as enforcing no transfers at schools closed to transfers, that WSHS would have an enrollment very close to capacity instead of several hundred over capacity and would not need to be rezoned.[/quote]

** Sangster sends around 100-150 students to WSHS each year.  Sangster enrollment is basically flat, with a loss of 1 student.

The WSHS pyramid elementary schools are down almost 200 students this year, yet the FCPS CIP projections show WSHS continuing significant growth over the next five years.

Why won't FCPS do a residency check at WSHS to figure out why there is such a discrepancy between their elementary and middle school enrollment,  and the high school projections and enrollment?[/quote]

It looks like there are some large classes passing through Irving and WS over the next 5-6 years and then enrollment might fall to match what we’re seeing at the elementary level. The current 7th graders seem like a big class just based on the fact that enrollment fell so much at Keene Mill from last year to this year.

I agree that residency checks and a thorough examination of transfers are needed. [/quote]
