[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's possible that 8 years from now Shepherd will still feed to Deal, but considering that Deal is currently pressing 1,500 students it seems likely some schools will need to be cut from the feeding system.  Shepherd is one of the more logical choices to eliminate.

MacFarland is the most logical possibility.  Considering Roosevelt is right next to MacFarland, there's no way it would be Coolidge (which is good, because Coolidge might as well be jail).[/quote]

I really don't think Shepherd is going to be removed from the Deal / Wilson feeder pattern.

However, it is only 2.2 miles to Coolidge -- which will be co-located with new North Middle School. MacFarland/Roosevelt are just over 3 miles away. DCPS rejected an IB program for MacFarland, so no logical reason why Shepherd would feed there over North Middle School.

"We have an IB program for elementary school, so therefore we should feed Deal and therefore Wilson" (which is AP, btw not IB Diploma) isn't compelling as a programmatic argument.  And since the local privates that do IB are off the table, wouldn't Eastern make the most sense?[/quote]

No because it's 9 miles away. [/quote]

Obviously, Sherlock.  The point is that "Shepherd has IB!  So there!  Give us access!  Because of our IB status!" will sway only the parents at Shepherd... and exactly 0.0% of everyone else.[/quote]
