Overcrowded: High-schoolers feel population crunch.(The Virginian-Pilot)
CHESAPEAKE, Va. _ Aaargh, this locker. Every day it gives Brent C. Bullock fits. It's become a regular joke between him and his next-locker neighbor.
But no mind _ Brent's striving toward big goals in his senior year in high school: straight A's and admission to the University of Virginia. A stubborn hall locker won't stymie him.
Nor will he be blocked by the mass of students at his school, Hickory High, one of Chesapeake's most crowded high schools.
Brent's school this fall is a focus of concern about crowding. Students, parents, school staff, school officials and, most recently, City Council members have complained about the number of children stuffed into the facility, which opened just six years ago to handle the overflow from other city high schools in fast-growing Chesapeake.
New housing tracts continue to be approved, even as the city's schools struggle to keep pace. Meanwhile, the opening of a new high school has been delayed a year, until 2007, for lack of funding.
Too late for current students _ by then, Hickory High's freshmen could be sophomores in college.
This fall's unofficial enrollment exceeds what the school was designed to handle by 18 percent _ a total of 2,236 students in grades 9 through 12. With four portable classrooms added this year, 24 now form rows behind the two-story classroom wing. Only smaller Western Branch High School nearby, at 19 percent over capacity, is more crowded.
