I guess so? I'm the PP but do not appear to be the most knowledgeable on this thread, so I'm sure others weigh in. As to boundaries, Kenmore is attractive because it could pull students from north and south, all along the western part of the county as you say. Seems like that could be a nice demographic balance. I'm not sure what it would do to Wakefield though. Presumably it would take SW located students from Wakefield and Wakefield would then have the SE students and potentially also gain some students to the north of 50 to round out its numbers. So it seems like it could be good for the demographics of both schools, though I don't have much of an idea how it would actually shake out with real numbers. [b]I also shudder to think of the boundary fights to send students currently zoned for Yorktown to a new school south of 50[/b]. [/quote]

Would it actually be that bad?  It seems that a Kenmore HS location would have demographics similar to WL, and in the latest boundary process it seems that it was the most desired high school.[/quote]

WL is an established school with a great reputation, whereas the new school would be an unknown. Plus, I didn't view the latest process as featuring a lot clamor to get INTO WL, more like WL folks didn't want to be put over to Wakefield or Yorktown, depending on their location. Who knows what would have happened if it was Yorktown that was overcrowded and the adjustments had to be made to send kids elsewhere. I could be wrong though, I'm relatively new to observations of APS.[/quote]
