[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reviving this because of the ARLnow article about middle school boundaries today. https://www.arlnow.com/2023/09/28/aps-to-pause-middle-school-boundary-process-for-one-year/#more-304509

Apparently Gunston is now down to 2 students over design capacity, so 994, from last year's September enrollment of 1072. They explicitly said the drop was due to the enrollment verification process. [/quote]

I hadn't seen this angle.  Interesting.[/quote]

Who/what says the drop was due to the enrollment verification process?[/quote]

“As of last week at each middle school, only one school exceeds capacity: Gunston has two students beyond its design capacity,” Dept. of Planning and Evaluation Executive Director Lisa Stengle told the board on Tuesday. “Every middle school fits right now. So the urgency that we had to change middle school boundaries may not be as urgent as it was when we started this process.”

[b]She attributed this to the home address confirmation process this summer, when APS changed how it verifies students living in Arlington and unenrolled non-resident fifth and eighth graders.[/b]"[/quote]
