Usually those school websites include all W-L students and that technically includes Arlington Tech, Career Center, H-B Woodlawn, and Langston students. All those students are eligible to receive W-L diplomas.

So yes, W-L according to the state is over 3,000. But the reality is much lower, at above 2,600. Those are the students who physically attend W-L

Wow, its ALREADY at 3000 students.


Hmm, according to APS, WL has 2,667 students (both Wakefield & Yorktown have right around 2,200).

Does that first link include everyone in bounds for WL, even if they go to Tech, HB, immersion, etc?

We need to keep pushing for a high school and Kenmore; I certainly continue to write our school board.

WL is currently only 2500 students. They are rolling in about 150 kids a year to get to 2800. We can see how smooth it is with 300 more students. Booking frog and all…


There will be no fourth high school at Kenmore, or anywhere else while our kids are enrolled here. APS is 100% out of money. It's out of bonding capacity. The career center won't come in on budget, and Montessori still "needs" $45 million in renovations for the old career center. If you want an additional high school, the time to do something about it was 2017. The only hope now is that enrollment declines across the board.


WHERE DID ALL THE MONEY GO???


See the new career center. And next up is MPSA.


Have you seen the CC? It's...crazy bad.


What is “badl? Cost overrun? Design?

I was pushing for high school at Kenmore since 2012. They got caught by surprise by demographic dip in early 2000s, and they expect us to return to that trend, but it’s a big gamble.

This. There is no money for anything. I agree that we need to hope that the projections of enrollment decline are accurate.
