While a recent community-commissioned report indicates a much-anticipated middle school in Owings Mills may not be as urgent a need as residents previously believed, a local lawmaker said the area is ideal for Baltimore County?s first kindergarten-through-eighth-grade school.
Owings Mills is in desperate need of a new elementary ? not middle ? school, according to a study conducted by the Reisterstown-Owings Mills-Glyndon Coordinating Council that evaluated capacity at area county schools. The new Windsor Mill Middle School, south of Liberty Road, opened room for more than 100 students at Deer Park Middle and between 300 and 400 students at Old Court Middle, according to the report. Crowding at Franklin Middle in Reisterstown, which is operating at state-rated capacity, could be relieved at these schools.
