In reply to trickycoolj. Yes, Concord International (Elementary) is in South Park.

Is there a school in South Park? Checking out the start times of the schools I pass on my way to work to avoid the drop-off traffic.

Also, those high schoolers starting at 8:40, how lucky!!

Ah, that makes sense. I’m not sure if, as a teen, I’d be more annoyed at starting earlier or getting out later.

In reply to Brian.

Brian – it’s because of the Denny/Sealth co-location; they have to have a certain gap. Denny’s starting bell is now 7:50 am.

Am I the only person who finds it odd that Chief Sealth IHS starts classes almost a full hour after West Seattle HS?
