The article examines total number of students, ratio of shared boundary students to non-boundary students, gender ratios, as well as the different neighborhoods making up each school.  The Stapletonion has taken a deeper look to understand the numbers behind the numbers.\n\t\n\n<ul>\n\n\n<li>There are roughly 250 middle school aged kids currently in Stapleton, with that number expected to grow dramatically in the coming years.  That\u2019s right.  Shit just got real.<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>There will be almost twice as many girls attending Bill Roberts than boys.  I am sure this won\u2019t cause any drama during school dance time, right?  (*Note to McAuliffe boys:  Start talking to the Roberts girls now.  It will be much easier to date them than the unfavorable 52% boys to 48% girls ratio you are dealing with at your school).<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>91 Stapleton kids will be attending <a href=\"http:\/\/mcauliffe.dpsk12.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">McAuliffe Jr. High<\/a>, which will be physically located in Park Hill across Quebec St.  Has DPS already made plans for a bullet-proof bus and for each Stapleton student to have their own bodyguard?  If not, these things need to be considered.  <\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Each school will have more diversity than parents may be ready for.  When most Stapleton parents asked for diversity, they thought it meant some kids from Eastbridge, some from North Central Park, others from Conservatory Green, some from Westerly Creek, etc.  There may have been some disconnect when it came to the word, \u2018diversity.\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>98% of in boundary Students got their first choice.  That means 2% did not.  We want our children to strive for 100%, and we expect that from DPS.  We can do a little better, DPS.<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>What in the hell is Denver Discovery?  And there is a DSST Northfield?  Huh.  Who knew?<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[138],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4611","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-77","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4611\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
