This makes practical sense to me.

Two Corporate Area high schools languishing for years in the throes of gang feuds and low student turnout are to be merged.

Trench Town and Charlie Smith Comprehensive High schools, both located in the traditional battle zone of South St Andrew popularly known as 'Jungle', will become one in September, when the 2015-2016 academic year gets under way.

That is what I call a common sense move. Charlie Smith has a nice football complex. How about placing a football academy at Charlie Smith.

Just worried that it wasn't given enough thought.
We know this mere fifty percent occupancy plaguing both schools is realized in forms other than seventh grade,will there be sufficient place for
for seventh grade entrants ,and doesn't the volume increase if the school plays its role in reducing the dropout rates?

Oops - That is why 'hearsay' is not admissible in court.
