As I understand it, Riverdale Elementary was overcrowded before the RP Station townhouses went in. Are the kids in those townhouses being assigned to Riverdale Elementary too? I just keep feeling like developers are cramming townhouses in everywhere they can and I don't hear about any improvements going to the local schools to accommodate new families. The Elementary, Middle and High schools assigned to RP residents are rated 2 and 3 out of 10 according to Great Schools ratings on Redfin. Any insight in improving this if all of the new housing and businesses are clearly bringing in money?</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_4797008994486429763m_2110694631538035016m_2520766910604900590gmail_attr">On Tue, Jan 22, 2019 at 2:13 PM Dan Behrend <<a href="mailto:danbehrend@gmail.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">danbehrend@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Thank you, Sonia, for sharing the Hyattsville Wire article ( <a href="https://www.hyattsvillewire.com/2019/01/19/riverdale-park-property-wmata-sale/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hyattsvillewire.com/2019/01/19/riverdale-park-property-wmata-sale/</a> ).
