Re: Haystack Way Apartments
Dear Caldwell City Council,
If the 156 residential dwelling units are approved, the elementary students would
attend Skyway Elementary School, Summitvue Middle School, and Ridgevue High
School.
Although the district is relieved to have a new elementary school opening this fall, we
are also concerned. With the already-approved subdivisions along with newly
approved subdivisions, Vallivue’s elementary schools are projected to be at capacity
by 2029.
We are especially concerned at the high school level. Ridgevue High School is built to
serve 1,800 students. Last year, Ridgevue High School climbed to 1,704 students. The
thousands of homes already approved within this school’s zone will soon max out the
school’s capacity.
On behalf of the school district and concerned citizens, we urge you to consider the
rate of growth in this area and the impact it has on the district’s ability to provide
quality educational services to the children.
Sincerely,
Joseph Palmer
Assistant Superintendent
