Are there 3 times as many MS aged students in Ward 5 relative to Ward 3? Unlikely.

Ward 3 parents would love additional options, even a K-8 model that is scorned elsewhere.  DCPS should shift Mann to a K-8 school when they renovate it to get rid of the long-standing trailers.[/quote]

yeah - anything to keep Mann families from being limited to Hardy as its only public middle school option.

By the way, In boundary schools are not necessarily designated by ward boundaries.  Hardy and Deal are both convenient to most  ward 2 and ward 3 homes and Hardy, located in ward 2, a few blocks from the ward 3 line,  is currently in-boundary for Palisades (ward 3) and is much closer than Deal (also in ward 3).

I don't know the demographics, but wouldn't be surprised if ward 5 did have many more MS aged students -- and more kids overall.  It seems to be more densely populated than Ward 3, which is very spread out with lots of big single family homes with big lawns.[/quote]
