That year, Ball stated that students in the surrounding neighborhood had to be turned away and sent to other schools due to the lack of space, and that "We have been filled to the brim without one square inch of extra space for the past seven to eight to nine years."〔 At Cornelius, at the time over 52% of the students were housed in facilities outside of the main school building. In 2002 Juan N. Seguin Elementary School, ten blocks from Cornelius, was scheduled to open, relieving Cornelius.〔 As of 2008, there were 250 students on a waiting list to get into Cornelius.
