Does RISD need to re-zone attendance boundaries to help with crowded schools?
No RISD school is over capacity, and if enrollment at any campus reaches capacity, additional students from that point on are assigned to the next closest campus with space. The district continually monitors campus populations and reconciles that data with professional demographic projections. Many campus populations fluctuate from year to year, for a variety of predictable and unpredictable reasons, but in cases where campuses consistently approach capacity, and projections point toward continued growth in that area, then the district does consider reviewing attendance boundaries. A primary consideration in any discussion of altering attendance boundaries is the importance of maintaining the integrity of neighborhood schools when possible.
