Word, have you confirmed that the school profile you reference is up to date or accurate before denigrating the At-a-Glance sheet? I will pass your comments on to the school, but please consider that perhaps your source may not be correct or up to date. I do know that the county has two sets of numbers for each school and that one includes students who live in the district but don't attend the base school for various reasons. So perhaps you are not looking at an accurate set of numbers.
I'll be sure to get back to you, though, and thank you for your due diligence.
