Dear Planners:
The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten
years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district
are operating over capacity.
Approval of the Kilgore Heights Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
enrollments at Mary McPherson Elementary. Lake Hazel Middle and Mountain View
High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house fifteen (15) elementary
aged children, fourteen (14) middle school aged children, and eleven (11) senior high
aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded
situation. Residents cannot be assured of attending the_ ~eighbo!...h~od schoQ!~as it !!!~y_b~__

School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is
currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 855-4500.
