Schools <br />Introduction <br />The Stoney Creek Basin Planning Area is currently served by the New Hope and Cameron Park <br />Elementary Schools, and Orange High School. The area will be served by the new A.L. Stanback <br />Middle School, slated to open in the Fall of 1995. <br />Where school enrollment exceeds capacity, a demand for new school facilities exists. Current school <br />capacity and enrollment data for the Orange County system is shown below. <br />Table 6: Current School Capacities and Enrollments <br />Source: Orange County School Board <br />The existing A.L. Stanback Middle School houses only sixth graders, so the current enrollment is <br />artificially low. The Orange County School Board intends to move all current students and teachers to <br />the new school, along with some from the C.W. Stanford Middle School. However, the School Board <br />has not yet released the actual number that will begin the 1995 school year at the new school. The new <br />A.L. Stanback Middle School will have a capacity of 700 students. <br />Methods <br />To estimate the impacts produced by each development option on the Orange County school system, <br />the following steps were taken: <br />• Determine the number of households. <br />• Determine the total number of school age children. <br />Stoney Creek Basin Area Plan, page B -14 <br />Over( +) or Under( -) <br />School <br />Capacity <br />Enrollment <br />Capacity <br />ELEMENTARY <br />• G.A.
