[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS Dashboard shows Cooper as 141 students under cap -- http://www.fcps.edu/fts/dashboard/enrollment/msenroll13-14.html

Pretty sure last year proposal would have moved 150 from Longfellow alone.  Can't recall numbers from Kilmer, but assume it's in the hundreds as well, so I believe it was shown that Cooper would be well over capacity immediately or within a year at most.  That was the best case scenario -- assuming the enrollment projections were not way low -- which they tend to be in this area.  Spring Hill is growing, Churchill is growing, etc.[/quote]

The dashboard shows Cooper as 327 students under capacity - with a design capacity of 1080 and current enrollment of 753.  The program capacity simply reflects the building's current program configuration at the moment.  The "building utilization" rank for Cooper is also 19th of 26 middle schools, compared to Kilmer, which is 1st, and Longfellow, which is 6th.  The higher the ranking, "the more efficient the school use" (i.e., the more crowded).  [/quote]

The latest CIP (at 31) also has Kilmer, Longfellow and Cooper at 133%, 115% and 70% of capacity by 2018-19.

If you think the FCPS projections are wrong, please speak up and ask FCPS to stare harder at these numbers, whether at Churchill, Spring Hill or elswhere, because it appears that FCPS in the verge of program and/or boundary adjustments in this area based on the assumption that Cooper and Langley need more students.
