'Gossip Girl' Studio Eyed For Use by Public Pupils

I think that adding a high school in 204 will just crowd up the place, and right now the security is ok, but near not being ok. If the high school is added, then there is a high possibility that the high school students will be fighting or bullying the middle schoolers, and they're gonna do something similar to "freshman friday".

It's not safe, and classes are taken away like crazy. I am a 7th grader at 204, and there are a lot of problems. The recommended class size should be about 17-20 students, and most classes have 27-30 students. Adding a high school can make the middle school classes have a class size of maybe 32-37, maybe 40 students. Thats nearly double the recommended amount.

Currently the Yale academy is using up the 1st floor and some of the basement. Harvard and Princeton have their own floors. The first floor has Yale's 6th graders and the main office, gym, cafeteria, and important rooms. The basement is made up of Yale's 6th and 7th graders. It's nearly impossible to fit Yale students all into the 1st floor. Besides, a high school will need more than one floor.
