[quote=Anonymous]As a current parent with 2 at SWW and 1 at Deal, I don't know where I want the youngest to go. No one knows what will happen to the HS with the merger. This year a lot is on hold after the HS community fought DCPS about the merger. There is a task force with members from both schools that will submit recommendations for the merger to the Chancellor by 11/1, but many have little confidence she will listen to them. If the HS is split and students are sent to FS, it will change the whole culture of the school. No one at the HS wants to split the campus. We would rather be crowded in one place. With the merger, the school feels unmoored. The principal is mainly at FS- understandably -but that leaves a HS with 600 students with no one physically there running the show. And DCPS says the HS will remain application only and FS will not be a feeder, but many feel unconvinced about this. I know many current parents who opted not to send their 9th graders to Walls, and the school had to go way into the wait list to fill the grade. It's future feels uncertain and not it a good way.[/quote]
