Freedom High School is going to have the largest student population of any school in the county in 2011-2012 school year. To deal with this overcrowding at Freedom the 9th graders next year will be split in half. Half of them will be at the nearby middle school on an A day and the other half will be at Freedom. Then they switch on B days. I personally think this is a great way to deal with the population issue, but I think this issue could have been prevented long before. LCPS simply did not build large enough schools to accommodate the large growth in the South Riding area. I think this is just a failure on LCPS's part to look at future planning and development. I also think it saves a lot more money to build one large school instead of 2 small schools. Any opinions on this?
