Orrington is also the top ranked school in district 65. Truly a gem of a school. That said I would not at all be surprised if this board killed its best ranked school. I guess it would make the disparity of the top and bottom ranked schools a bit closer? I sincerely hope they don't touch Orrington.
Orrington has always been a target. If they can, they will. No doubt in my mind. Tragic all around. But in the end, this is what Evanston voted for over and over again.
Isn't Orrington supposed to get a material amount of new potential students under the post-5th ward school opening-boundaries (mostly former Kingsley students)? I think between the new school opening / students moving to Orrington, Kingsley would lose a huge percentage of its student body. I've heard Orrington brought up by many as the most likely target, but that always seemed strange given many of the students that live in the eastern part of its boundaries would potentially have to be bussed to other schools.
Orrington currently has 250 students K-5.
And sits on $$$$ land
