Wilson HS
Ward 1 15.43%
Ward 2 4.22%
Ward 3 24.87%
Ward 4 24.05%
Ward 5 10.21%
Ward 6 9.85%
Ward 7 6.10%
Ward 8 5.28%

So, loosely, of about 1750-1800 enrollment, 425-450 are from Ward 4 and 275-300 are from Ward 1.

And FYI that is about on par with Roosevelt's current enrollment.

Amazing to think the school is overcrowded and yet only 25% kids come from Ward 3, Wilson's ward.

The solution is obvious.

DP but the size is the selling point. If that many high-SES kids shift to a different feeder, it immediately creates a viable second pyramid. I think that PP brought it up to point out the fact that Ward 4 kids are not the only ones attending from Deal/Wilson by right from a different ward (while Ward 1 kids are never criticized as interlopers for the same thing), but it's an interesting idea if the goal is really to get another viable DCPS option for more families.

Yes I think this is a good logic for how DCPS should consider making a viable alternative to Deal, they need to realize that starting with a Cardozo middle aint going to work. But at the same time, people from the Elementary Levels have to be up for it. But since a middle school moves screws with with high school option, for which DCPS has no idea except to increase Banneker, everyone is going to freak out.

All this (and the ward percentages above) show is that the feeder rights through middle and high school continue to cause an issue with Wilson. Why kick out any feeder elementary before addressing feeder rights and people that start IB and move OOB?

Oyster-Adams already includes a middle school. The middle school was a big and successful project. Undoing that a few years after all that effort is not going to happen. Also, Oyster-Adams already feeds into Roosevelt. Sutdents have a right to go to either Wilson or Roosevelt (if they want to continue dual language). Oyster-Adams students spread out to a lot of different high schools. Not that many go to Wilson.

Why not feed oyster to McFarland and free up space at Oyster Adams?

Well if they have room at McFarland, I don't know. But Cardozo is way closer, and they could build a decent language program there. Nice campus but hard to divert those going Wilson to a school that is basically moving kids up each year even though they don't pass. I cannot imagine DCPS even trying to make that proposal go down, even though it makes sense in many ways and more sense than McFarland.

And what would you do with the Oyster Adams building? A mini high school for the neighborhood?

A mini magnet? but a true test in magnet? or an expanded oyster elementary? Cardozo isn't happening, for anyone with a choice. I am more likely to take my chances on McFarland

I cannot see a number for the amount of kids that go to Wilson from Oyster Adams. But getting rid of the Wilson feed seems like a good idea, especially if not that many even go to Wilson. And if the elementary school kids can choose Deal or Oyster Adams, they should switch that choice to Cardozo or Oyster Adams.

Same on Cardozo. Cute idea about the mini magnet, but DCPS is already hoping to expand Banneker, and that is not the far from the Oyster Adams site, so I cannot imagine putting yet another application high school in that area of the city.

Keeping the middle school as is, but removing its Wilson feeds sounds like a decent start. This would reduce enrollment at Wilson by what? 30?

The high school feed should be Roosevelt, so the Adams kids can meet up with all the other kids from DCPS' bilingual elementaries.

what is Oyster adams became a middle school magnet. Or even better a middle school dual language magnet? test in for the kids who come up the DCPS feeder system and also through the charter sysyem who may not want DCI. DC in general is capable of producing some high achieving bilingual english/spanish speaking students. Kids who ready to tackle all subjects in both languages at grade level or higher in 6th grade. Is there a magnet like this in the country?

This data is old and not of much use. Goes back to when SW had a legitimate / legal feed to Wilson

This. That way the IB families from Oyster who will be sad about losing Adams are countered by the IB families who will be glad to have a better shot at getting in for PK. Also, expanding Oyster means more prepared 5th graders available to enter MacFarland each year. Adding in the Bancroft kids to MacFarland makes for a pretty strong group with rights to the school, and could help keep kids in some of the other bilingual elementaries because their parents will feel better about the feeder pattern and may stop trying to flee to DCI and its feeders.

DCPS already allows people to apply to Oyster-Adams for middle, but rarely offers any seats. You must get in via lottery and then they test you for Spanish language proficiency.

Before DCI existed and before Adams really got up on its feet it was a common destination for the first few classes of students who finished LAMB.
