High Peaks Elementary
High Peaks Elementary, is relocating to Douglass Elementary building next year. Currently, HP has 2 classrooms at each grade level with a 25 student cap per classroom. With the move, the school will get a 3rd classroom per grade (assuming there is demand with the further East address). This 3rd classroom would also presumably need a new teacher. This assumes, the current student body all moves to new building, which we know isn’t going to be the case. Thus, we are looking at 33% new students and new teachers, possibly more if turnover. I have serious questions as I consider it for my students. I want to hear the good, bad and ugly. I want to hear why your kid thrived. I want to hear from parents who pulled their kids. Can this school scale? What happens when a child can’t keep up? How is this so great for GT kiddos? What about parent culture? Staff? Thanks!
