Orange-Hoover-West here too. My 6th grader just got so overwhelmed by the change that we're moving to the Catholic System next week. Just too much and too many kids for her to handle successfully.Yep my kids are Orange-Hoover-West kids and there desperately needs to either be another middle school or more kids going to Central. The district owns a bunch of land to the north of Orange I believe and that would be a perfect spot for a new building.
The one big high school thing was something that Dr Lindaman had in mind with the renovations going on at Central/WCC. That work is being done with that being where the one big high school would end up being and from what Dr Lindaman was telling me that was in the 10 year facilities plan she had in place before retiring. My kids probably won't see it since my youngest is in 8th but the elementary kids probably will.
They need to build a middle school where the old building used to sit out at Orange.
