Also interesting that they aren’t offering transfers out of Gunston considering the whole brouhaha over redrawing middle school boundaries

Prioritized MS transfers this year are students zoned for TJ and Swanson. Gunston must be behind those in crowding.

Gunston enrollment went down after finding almost 100 non-residents.

That is shocking. I hope they were charged tuition even if it’s after the fact.

Can’t get blood from a stone.

Good thing APS isn’t using IB specifically to reduce crowding at Wakefield. Option programs should not be used to solve capacity problems.

There is a capacity limit. It's not an unlimited number of transfers.

I hope folks do their due diligence before transferring to W-L...
