[quote=Anonymous]DCPS problem is they created all these education campuses in NW eotp.  There isn't a smooth transition for a Shepard or Bancroft into a MS in those locations.  So you have to look at what is the most viable option for kids (after excluding the fact that Shepard and Bancroft bring their own  unique "diversity" additions to Deal).  There isn't a stand alone middle school in area.  Where do you put those kids?  Shove them into a pk-8 campus starting at 6th grade?  The fact is that Deal is the ONLY stand alone middle school remotely near these schools.

Hearst is 17% IB so the kids going there don't live even within the Deal boundaries meaning if they are using public transportation it can take you just as easily to Hardy as it does to Deal.  Same goes for Eaton though the IB is a bit more (in the 30s?).

It will definitely be a battle but I think the Deal southern boundary will shift north.  I think the OA and Bancroft kids are outliers.  But not sure how you get them out without creating a huge uproar.  Who am I kidding.  There will be a huge uproar (and lawsuits) regardless.[/quote]
