Is there enough room in either Henderson or John Marshall to consolidate it into one 6-12th grade school? I don’t think it should be necessary to close both and increase the student/teacher ratio at other schools in a teacher shortage.

Also 6th graders and 12th graders together seems like a recipe for disaster.

Anecdotally, I’ve noticed many baby strollers in Northside, esp Brookland and Highland Park so in 10-15 years the need might be there again.

Oh definitely, that’s why I don’t agree with shutting down all three elementary schools. The consolidation would be a temporary measure.

Unless they book it to the suburbs as soon as their kids hit grade school like every generation before them

that's happening less and less, seeing as the suburbs are totally unafordable, unless you want to be past short pump.
