Shepherd gives 30 students a year. How does this help overcrowding??? Bus Janney or Murch

Here we go again. Deal and Wilson are in the Murch boundary. Janney is the closest ES to Wilson.

Please stop wasting time on this idea. It won’t fly. Do better.

Pulling 90 students out of Deal and 120 out of Wilson obviously helps overcrowding. When redistricting it makes sense to reduce travel times and distances as much as possible; sending Shepherd to Wilson and Janney to Coolidge would not help with that.

Bancroft and Oyster. Let Oyster-Adams be PK3 to 5 and more neighborhood families will get in for PK (giving them 2 more years of immersion) plus more spots for Spanish-dominant families in a high-performing school.

Is this the same dumb poster who keeps posting this dumb idea on every school thread and is apparently unaware that Oyster ADAMS includes Adams Middle School, a high performing bilingual middle school? Look, I get that you think this is a great idea, but it will never ever happen, and constantly repeating it is really annoying.

I'm aware that Oyster-Adams includes a middle school. I just don't think it should. Similarly, I think Francis-Stevens should be PK3-5 and get its own principal rather than sharing with SWW.

I think everyone must suffer and worry about housing value and school performance, all HS should be lottery. It is the only fair and equitable solution. For all who chime in about white flight, it doesn’t matter.

Yes, because this has worked so well in other places. Where are those places, PP?

Such a plan was a complete and utter failure in San Francisco and they are killing it off:

Communism is supposed to be fair and equitable as well.

DP. That was all schools, not HS only. It makes sense to have a ranking system. Especially with the new college HS options.

DC is much smaller. There is no comparable example. I think people need to stop trying to make Wilson HS match their HS experience in BFE Ohio or Michigan. It won’t work here, you aren’t in BFE Ohio.

This is a stupid idea. Lottery makes no sense when there is one viable HS in DC. No parents are willing to mess with HS education. The stakes are too high. There is also no bus system in DC. You cannot force a student from AU Park to go to Anacostia HS without providing transportation when there is a HS 5min walk from where the student lives.

It would get sorted out. Likely an AU Park student would not go to Anacostia. They could go to Roosevelt, Coolidge or Wilson. I’m not sure why AU parents are so quick to inflict pain on others when you are so unwilling to shoulder pain yourself?! There are many students at Wilson who shoulder the burden of a commute and you get to should the pain of a crowded school. It’s a shared burden! Stop whining.

Correct. The answer is a neighborhood choice set.

This is absurd. First, a key reason that Wilson is an okay school is because of the neighborhood students who attend. You can spread Wilson students equally across schools all over DC, and you will end up with 0 0 performing schools. So then we have the equity of universally sucky schools.

Second, why is everyone simply supposed to agree to share pain just because DCPS is bad at their mission? Maybe they should work to improve the schools?

Surely you know that taking away 3 years of bilingual education at the middle school level in a school with good MS test scores (among other positive qualities) is a non-starter? I assume you are just being provocative.

May the SJWs please fix some of the broken high schools siphoning out hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money for luxurious buildings instead of trying to steal the one high school that works well thanks to its community and neighbors and in spite of lack of resources?
