[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 2 schools EOTP that currently feed to Deal - Shepherd and Bancroft. There are also many students who attend Deal/JR who live in Crestwood and 16th St Heights who are still in boundary for Deal (and have feeder rights to JR) up to this year due to grandfathering following the 2014 boundary review. These students typically ride a Metrobus that is essentially a designated route to Tenleytown, i.e, it is a straight shot and only comes once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The D31 comes south on 16th St and then across Military to Nebraska. The D33 comes north on 16th (starting at Shepherd St NW), across Military to Nebraska. The D34 comes north on 14th starting 14th and Colorado, across Military to Colorado. (I think there is another bus for Bancroft students, but I do not know what that is). There is also the W45 which is dedicated for JR (formerly Wilson, hence the W) students. Theoretically, these bus lines should be in place to accommodate these students through at least 2029, when the current 6th graders graduate (the youngest grandfathered cohort). A lot of students who attend Deal because they attended feeder elementary schools and live EOTP also ride these buses. It is much different to ride these "designated" buses than to ride a regular Metrobus, as the only people on them are other Deal/JR kids (I mean, anyone can ride those buses, but would you willingly get on a bus full of middle or high school kids!?). If your children are much younger however, and you happen to get an OOB spot at a feeder, it is unclear how long these bus routes (D33 and D34) will remain in place if there are no longer in boundary students attending those schools (because the boundaries have changed). Shepherd and Bancroft remain in bounds, so those bus routes should remain in place. [/quote]

This is accurate except there are two buses in the morning and two in afternoon. But they’re basically back to back.[/quote]
