Metro School leaders held an informational meeting for parents at the proposed school site Wednesday, on property owned by Hope Park Church off Highway 70S.

Faced with the choice of either renovating the current Hillwood High School in West Meade or building a new one in Bellevue, some parents worry about increased traffic at the Bellevue site.

But others said a move would bring the school closer to where most of the current students live.

Metro Schools commissioned a study last year that showed if the school moves to Bellevue, there would be less diversity among students.
