[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, ATS and HB have not expanded significantly. Your percentages mean nothing when you are talking about a MIDDLE SCHOOL and HIGH SCHOOL enrollment that is barely bigger than the incoming class of 6th graders at Swanson. 
You know what schools HAVE expanded significantly in recent years: Oakridge, McKinley, Ashlawn, Claremont, Swanson, Williamsburg, W-L.  Please don't insult our intelligence re: HB and ATS.[/quote]

Okay, I'll bite. With what must be your intimate knowledge of the ATS and HB buildings and the space they have for extra kids and trailers, please tell me how much (specifically) you would like them to expand before you will stop complaining about them. [/quote]

A good start would be to take at least 80 6th graders, if not 85. Current MS HB enrollment is 80 6th graders, 84 7th graders, and 85 8th graders. Since they can obviously accommodate 85/class at the middle school level, why limit the lottery to 75 for next year's 6th grade class?   If the reason is that extra seats are being left open for administrative transfers, that is not right.  If enrollment is via lottery, the administrative transfer should be extremely rare.

I don't disagree with this, but I have a hard time believing that adding 10 more kids to the lottery this year would have satisfied people. [/quote]
