[quote=Anonymous]How big are the elementary schools?

in 2014-15, grade level populations calculated by taking total school population divided by 4 (for grades 3 to 6) for NCC & CC; divided by 6 for grades K to 5 for Bethesda, RCF, Westbrook, Somerset.

School pop includes the highly gifted center (at one of the CCs) and the Spanish immersion (at RCF), and possibly some preK at some of these school (I don't know well enough) so these numbers are not adjusted for those .. . .

Smallest to largest using this approximation method per grade level:

Westbrook, 76
Bethesda E, 87
NCC, 89
Somerset, 94
Rock Creek Forest, 112
CC, 136

So if you add together CC  + NCC = 224
WB + Somerset = 170

If you put Bethesda E with the CCs at MS #2 = 311
which puts RCF staying at Westland = 282

If you put RCF with the CCs at MS #2 = 336
which puts BE with WB + Somerset at Westland = 257

so from these numbers if correct, it seems that RCF, Somerset, Westbrook should stay at Westland.

CC, NCC, Bethesda should go to BCC MS #2.

Otherwise the size difference between the schools will be significant.

I didn't dig out the future projections for school size growth which are in the school summary sheets.  The answer may change.

also, could do a split articulation with RCF Spanish Immersion going to Westland with BE, WB, Somerset; and the CCs and RCF non-immersion going to BCC MS #2.

That's a split articulation, but only by moving a specific program on to westland, and the general population to BCC MS #2.  It might exacerbate dynamics at RCF that there are immersion kids who are more privileged, and in boundary kids who are less so, don't know.
