[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the discussions on this board have me nervous.   We bought a house two blocks from Lafayette.  Are we not guaranteed a spot at Dewan and Wilson when the kids are older?[/quote]

The only thing you are guaranteed is that your child can attend a public school in DC.

Now - let's do a reality check.   During the last redistricting, there was not the will power to cut-off Crestwood and 16th St Heights from Deal. 
Realistically, the 1st school that MAY be pulled as a Deal Feeder would be Bancroft.   Why?   Spanish immersion elementary should feed Spanish immersion middle school.   Also - that part of DC does not have the same political power as Shepard.

I can not see a situation where Lafayette changes middle schools feeder pattern and Shepard does not.   The Mayor wants to get re-elected.   Reminder - Crestwood was not Grandfathered under the previous Mayor - but current one stepped in and over-rode that decision.  [/quote]

Isn't MacFarland's enrollmemt already coming in high, though?[/quote]

Bancroft now has a programmatic feed to MacFarland. Families that want to go there can choose it without going through the lottery or any OOB process. I would be interested to know how many have chosen this path rather than Deal. [/quote]
