This is really eye opening. Walter Johnson is almost 700 kids OVER capacity?!? But then schools like Shady Grove MS are almost 400 UNDER?!?


Why do they insist on busing so many kids all the way from Kensington there when they could attend a school closer to home or at least a less crowded one like Kennedy?

Blair is bigger but WJ is more overcrowded.

Yes, it's far away from everything and in an underpopulated part of the county.

They're both in the 80-100% level MCPS considers ideal.

The common spaces at overcrowded. They need to remodel the cafeteria and gym and auditorium. The building hasn't been updated since the 70's or earlier

MCPS has a stated goal to have utilization at 80-100%.

WJ and the DCC will ship a bunch kids off to Woodward. Crown will open helping several HS's. Don't know of plans for Shady Grove or other MS's.
