Moving the sixth graders will raise the district s overall student capacity and add space in overburdened elementary schools, but also put more pressure on middle school campuses, requiring the district to rezone all of the schools.
The district s current grade level arrangement groups children together in elementary schools from kindergarten to sixth grade, then groups seventh- and eighth-graders for middle school, and ninth- through 12th-graders for high school.
