I share the original poster's concerns about the replacement of Gan Miriam with the 8th grade class from Atmosphere Academy.

RKA's student body continues to grow (over 200 students are anticipated in next year's freshman class and over 300 in the rising 6th grade class) and PS 24 is straining to accommodate the over 1,000 students it currently enrolls. It's hard to imagine anyone - resident, parent, teacher, student, or school administrator - believing that another school in this 2-block area that already has well over 2,000 students is a good idea.

I'm hopeful the Press will investigate this aspect of the story more fully.
