[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Wilson REALLY overcrowded, or is this thread just puffing at windmills?[/quote]

1600 students in a building that can accommodate 1300.
If kids are succeeding, it is despite the inept administration. They sell it as kids learning to "advocate for themselves". [/quote]

And I am wrong. There are now  1,791  students at Wilson.[/quote]

If there are 1791 students at a school built to accommodate 1300, then it cannot be argued that the school is NOT overcrowded, at least though the lens of the architects' intent.  However, I pulled up Public School Review's "High School Profile," and it says that the student-teacher ratio is 14:1, and if that's true, then at least from my subjective perspective, the attention students are getting wouldn't seem so bad.  HOWEVER, yet again, the same site says that this year's 9th-grade class is composed of 608 students, which is AT LEAST 150 [u]MORE[/u] students than the prior 3 years.  If that increase keeps up, I don't see how anyone's subjective view could result in a conclusion OTHER than, indeed, Woodrow Wilson High School is either presently overcrowded or on track to be very, very overcrowded as soon as next year.  Dramatically overcrowded, even.  Anyone care to disagree?  The source of the information is here:
