Enrollment exeeds capacity at Queens high schools

From the NY Post:

Overcrowding in high schools has dropped by 15 percentage points since the 2004-2005 school year — but half of city high schoolers still attended overcrowded buildings in 2008-2009, according to a new report.

The space crunch affecting 148,000 kids persisted last year even though the number of seats exceeded enrollment by 15,100 — suggesting the city needs to do more than simply build more schools.

"Policies that enhance underused schools and encourage students to enroll in them will also be necessary," concludes the report by the Independent Budget Office.

These may include capping enrollment at popular schools or making under-enrolled schools more desirable by strengthening their academic programs.

The report pinpointed Queens — where 71 percent of students attended overloaded high schools last year — as the only borough where enrollment exceeds capacity.


Gee, I wonder why that is?

Hey, as long as the overcrowding is in Queens and the outerboroughs, Bloomburg doesn't care. It is important to him to keep Manhattan as rich and pristine as possible. He doesn't give a shit about Queens or its illegal aliens and anchor babies. Thanks, Mr. Sanctuary City!

It is the fault of Queens where a bunch of third stringers in office and as civic leaders dont have the backbone or creativity to fight for what is right.

Yes, we know that this is a country of immigrants; however, if the schools and the infrastructure can't support it, then we have a huge problem. When are all these "let-everyone-in liberals" going to understand this?

Pretty soon, our idiotic Mayor will be using our taxes to put up street signs in 98 languages.

How politically correct.

yes I agree is a lot of them in Queens, BUT if you look closer to the picture, there is not a single Mexican but Chinese kids all over the place, Flushing is full of Asian people, Besides does not matter if one classroom is full with 50 Asian kids, all this kids will eventually graduate from college, live in the best Con-dominion with the best brand cars in New York, because they will take over every White American job out there. And yes they are LEGAL and cheap labor too.
Thank you !!!!

This was a picture taken at my high school Francis Lewis. It's in Fresh Meadows. You are right that there are alot of asian kids in the picture. If you go over to Newtown High School, you'll be seeing alot of latino spanish kids. Different area zones have different people.

Anchor babies are not exclusively Mexican. Lots of Chinese illegals as well.

the public school located at 42nd ave, at Francis Lewis Blvd. is 70% asian pupils ,while the zip 11358-11361 is 70% caucasian,25% asian residents.
the math and reading scores are the highest in the system. only K pupils can enroll and must stay till grade three ends.

the asian pupils are mostly bused from Main Street,Flushing.at fourth grade they return to their resident school.

local pupils,living across the street from P.S.130Q are bused to schools one mile away, when they could walk to P.S.130.

your taxes are being wasted on buses and crazy ideas by d.o.e progressives .

this nutty plan has been executed for TWENTY SIX years. how many ANCHOR BABIES were enrolled in this wasteful plan?
some body in C.S.D.25 and C.S.D.26 should be fired........
