Friendship/KIPP aside (I think that was an off the cuff response) I think the question of whether Lee can even fill/afford a building of that size is valid. Potomac has an assessed value of $20M more than double of ITS building (a PK-8). Potomac had almost 500 kids. I don't think Lee is going to be even half that size fully occupied.

My guess is the Friendship or KIPP organization will get that building.

That would I make sense. They are larger and require more space. Lee could barely fit in the basement of that school yet alone take over the entire building. Kipp and Friendship are established schools that require the space. No knock on Lee, just facts.

Friendship Charter schools are shady. I would not call them "established" at all.

Shady according to who? they are establish as in they've been around for a while and tier 1 or 2. Lee has what 90 kids?

That way the current kids could educate in place. I don't see any friendships or preps or KIPP up for charter. Do they have to recharter each campus as they open? I can't remember the evolution of the amos schools becoming friendship schools

Lee is only in its second year. There are four more years of growth until they reach full size.

Potomac has 425 kids. How large is Lee projected to be?

Are they looking for a building?

This would be excellent for Lee. I hope there's a way to accommodate the current students.

I'm betting on ITS for 16-17 . Only mildly frenzied.

Didn't Potomac Prep just have their charter revoked. Who is going to that space?

ITS was in the basement of Potomac Prep its first year. It's nice and would be nicer with the whole building. Yu Ying was there prior to that, also sharing with Potomac. nice quiet area. No sports field but a nice playground. Next to a preschool and some Catholic infrastructure.
