Ardmore Elementary School in Bellevue would not be consolidated under a new plan that the school district released Thursday. The Bellevue School District changed its plan to consolidate three schools after holding a series of formal hearings and gathering feedback from the community. Initially, Bellevue was considering sending Ardmore students to Bennett, Cherry Crest and Sherwood Forest elementaries. Under the new plan, Ardmore would not be consolidated, and the district would add an Arabic Heritage Language program and work with staff to develop and implement “innovative approaches” to attract and retain students. The district did not make changes to the rest of its consolidation plan, which would consolidate Wilburton Elementary with Clyde Hill and Enatai elementaries and send Eastgate Elementary students to Spiritridge Elementary. Advanced learning at Spiritridge would be relocated to Woodridge Elementary.
