[quote=Anonymous]Just saw the PCSB minutes--the new location is 709 12th St. SE (the Chavez Prep building). Last year (their first year) they were in Hillcrest. They had about 120 6th graders last year, which is pretty big for a DC middle school; the same size as Hardy. It will be interested to see how enrollment and demographics changes with this move. Will they pick up a lot of kids who'd been at Chavez? They say at the hearing that 113 of the 120 are re-enrolling and they have a 7th grade waitlist. It's also interesting to me that the school board is very gung-ho on schools located in underserved areas and they were allowed to move a year later to within 1.5 miles of Stuart-Hobson and Eliott-Hine. They mentioned at their hearing that 5 of their current students attended Tyler elementary, so would have had a right to Jefferson Academy (though they say 98% of students live in Wards 7 and 8, meaning some of the Tyler students were from OOB or subsequently moved).
