An NYC high school filled to 250% its capacity

Queens high school teacher Arthur Goldstein has taught his students in a trailer and in a room the size of a New York studio apartment. His 1,800 person capacity high school building has 4,700 students enrolled. And one of his colleagues teaches a gym class of 156 students. Read more about it here in the New York Daily News.

I talked to Goldstein last year when I was looking into education stories in NYC, and I remember thinking then that it was only a matter of time til he started getting his experiences out to the wider education community and New York City in general. Now he is appearing regularly in the Daily News and Gotham Schools.
