[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, so assuming they make Key a neighborhood school and move the immersion school, where are the possible relocation sites?  Projected at over 800 students for next year, ASFS is a nonstarter.  I’m asking with genuine curiosity because I haven’t seen anything realistic or geographically appropriate suggested.  No matter how much folks resent choice schools, they play an important role in alleviating crowding in other schools and you need to house them somewhere.  That “somewhere” will always be in somebody’s neighborhood.  [/quote]

Since it’s full lottery now, that projection isn’t valid anymore. If I understand correctly, that projection was assuming they would have to take anyone who registered from Key zone, which is no longer the case. A lottery option school can control its total population.[/quote]

Key currently has just under 740 kids.  4 classes of 5th grade kids will graduate removing about 100 kids from the school taking it down to 640, however you need to add in about 150 kids for the incoming Kinder taking it up to 790; give or take a few kids.
The lottery yielded enough applicants to fill a 6 class Kindergarten.

So year 800 is still an accurate projection.
