[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF free private PK3 in Ward 3. That is so messed up. Sickening.[/quote]

Most of the kids who attend public school in Ward 3 live in the other seven wards. [/quote]

That's not even remotely true - at the Elementary and Middle School level it is not even close.  Only Wilson is non majority Ward 3 and that is likely changing in the next couple of years.[/quote]

Actually, Wilson is not the only school in Ward 3 that is not majority Ward 3, and not all Ward 3 kids are IB for Ward 3 middle school. School boundaries cross wards.

It isn't just about counting OOB. Don't forget that:
- the Wilson and Deal boundaries are not limited to Ward 3 even though they are located in Ward 3 (for example, Shepherd and Bancroft are IB but not in Ward 3, and Lafayette is mostly Ward 4 and it is the largest feeder to Deal, plus Deal is almost 30% OOB; so possibly only 40% of Deal students live in Ward 3 (a generous guess)), and that
- many Ward 3 kids are IB for middle school in Ward 2 at Hardy and O-A, and that 
- Eaton and Hearst, while in Ward 3, have significant percentages of OOB students (though changing but still at 50% and up and therefore not majority Ward 3 as of the last published data), and the other elementary schools located in Ward 3 also have 7- 25% OOB too.

So, add the significant number of OOB kids to the significant number of IB kids who don't live in Ward 3, and it may be true that most of the kids who attend public school in Ward 3 do not live in Ward 3. I'm sure someone has the actual data.

Though I'm not sure why this matters when you are talking about a tiny preschool with not a lot of open 3-year old slots anyway.[/quote]
