That will certainly be what the PCSB is hoping for.

And then what? Will they force kids to travel across town sp both campuses are integrated or will they end up with two demographically and SES different schools? They should go for a central or semi -central location IMO. Their current (semi central) campus was kind of inconvenient for almost everyone...in a weird way, that worked.

It really didn't if you look at it from the perspective of economic diversity (one of the challenges WL says it is facing it is strategic plan). Since moving WL has lost significant numbers of non-affluent kids. Look at the demographic differences from the MS and Upper School today. Most of the Upper School students came from the previous location.

It's not since moving. Its since gaining popularity city wide. It was previously in a more inacessible and high SES location in Ward 3. Please speak from facts. The demand for seats has exceeded supply- for everyone. If they want to serve more students (and frankly, think it's a little weird to focus on ses of students unless you are a KIPP and that is specifically your mission) then open another campus in a central location and double your seats, for everyone. By opening in a non centrally located low SES neighborhood they are doing somethinginteresting, but it is certainly not replicating the current model. Glad to hear they will leave campus location a choice though. Let's see how that works out.
