[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even the Mayor is talking about the mass exodus at George Mason ES. Wilson said the drop in enrollment seems at odds with some of ACPS’ modernization plans. “Our next priority is George Mason, which is seeing the largest drop,” Wilson said, and noted that George Mason has little by way of major developments planned nearby. “That means that most of those kids are coming out of a school like that… I’m not saying not to do Mason, but I want to make sure we’re looking at the big picture.” Hopefully, the big picture includes what the school board is discussing re: George Mason.[/quote] Houses in the area skyrocketed in priced over the past 5 years - no one is moving and the kids that were there are getting older. No housing turnover, no new families. A larger school in that neighborhood - such a mess I can't even imagine. The issue with that school is the way it is situated in the neighborhood and how it is sandwiched in on all sides. One strategy ACPS could consider is following Fairfax county and start extending elementary schools enrollment to grade 6; then jr. high school would by 7 and 8th and then high school [/quote]
