Which schools are on chief's list — and which are not

Seattle Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson has presented a number of new options to her school-closure and relocation recommendations.

Listed as "potential final recommendations," in addition to what's already been discussed:

• Close the Montlake Elementary building and move that school to the Lowell Elementary building, which it would share with half of the district's Accelerated Progress Program (APP) for highly capable elementary-school students.

• Move Pathfinder K-8 to Cooper Elementary and disperse Cooper students to other schools. The option of moving Pathfinder K-8 to Arbor Heights no longer is on the list.

• Move half of the APP for middle-school students, now at Washington Middle School, to Hamilton Middle School.

• Keep half of the APP elementary program at Lowell, and move the other half, as previously discussed, to Thurgood Marshall Elementary.

For high schools, the superintendent listed two options:

• Keep Rainier Beach High open, close the Center School and assign its students to Rainier Beach, or move Aki Kurose Middle to Rainier Beach, making the school a joint middle/high school with a comprehensive performing-arts program. In the second option, Aki Kurose's building would close.

Other options under discussion:

• Close Hawthorne Elementary, depending on what happens to Meany Middle.

• Move Summit K-12 to Meany and remove the high-school grades from Summit, making it a K-8, although the "preferred option" is to move NOVA alternative high school and the Secondary Bilingual Orientation Center to Meany. The "preferred option" for Summit K-12 is to close it.

• Move the Secondary Bilingual Orientation Center to Hawthorne Elementary, although this is also listed as "not preferred."

What's no longer on the list:

• Closing Arbor Heights Elementary

• Merging Rainier Beach and Cleveland high schools.

Other previously discussed recommendations, on the preferred list:

• Close T.T. Minor Elementary, and move its K-3 Montessori program to Leschi Elementary

• Close Alternative School No. 1

• Close the African American Academy and move Van Asselt Elementary into that building. Van Asselt's building would close.

• Close the building that houses the Secondary Bilingual Orientation Center, although perhaps reopening it in a few years as an elementary school.

• Close Meany Middle School and move NOVA, an alternative school, and the Secondary Bilingual Orientation Center into its building. The two programs would be separate, but the hope is that they could have a number of shared activities.

• Move Thornton Creek Elementary, an alternative school, to the building that now houses Summit K-12, and make Thornton a K-8.

• Open a new regular elementary school in Thornton Creek's building, to ease elementary-school overcrowding in northeast Seattle.

• Move the Elementary Bilingual Orientation Center at Thurgood Marshall Elementary to Bailey Gatzert Elementary.
