[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP there's also the OOB factor. We considered a hearst-zoned school, but while we have no issue with the diversity or the student population there, Hearst is 88% OOB, which really makes it not a neighborhood school. To me being able to walk to friends' houses, play in the alley with school buddies etc. is really important. It helps build the sense of community as well. Hearst's figures suggest that won't happen.[/quote] Well 83% It's interesting to me that schools with very high OOB populations weren't considered for closing. If a school is designed to serve a neighborhood and less than 20% of the neighborhood is utilizing it, maybe they should close it. . Sure the test scores were by DCPS standards good and by more objective standards closer to medicore.[/quote]
