Does each learning community have the same number of schools and students?
No. In developing the geographically connected learning communities, our schools and students do not come in even numbers. We currently have 161 schools and more than 132,000 students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Some areas in Mecklenburg County have a higher density than others and some areas are growing more rapidly than others. We took these factors into account. For example, some high school feeder patterns have up to 20 schools while others have only three. We also considered municipal and community boundaries along with student ethnic and socio-economic status. Every effort was made to keep communities together.
