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 Blackrock Castle Greens Subdivision will have a significant impact on
school enrollments at Lake Hazel Elementary, Lake Hazel Middle and Mountain View
High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house one hundred eighty-eight
(188) elementary aged children, one hundred seventy-two (172) middle school aged
children, and one hundred forty-one (141) senior high aged students. Additional students
will further compound the current overcrowded situation. Residents cannot be assured of
__.________~tte>>ding the neighbothoo(L~chool, Jl.S it mayJ~e nec~ssaT)"...to bJJS _stJJd~nisl.Q..olher..B..cho..Q.ls____
across the district.
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.
