[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So, if I understand correctly, the Ward 3 schools are packed. Increasingly, they are packed by IB students, which force more and more OOB kids into either charters, private, or the suburbs.

So, other than the fact that the District's population is rising, what is new about any this that hasn't been the case for decades? If anything, a rising population (of presumably relatively high SES families) will improve the quality of local schools as a result. Or perhaps as others elsewhere have stated, these kids' parents will prefer to enroll them in new charters or privates because they demand good schools.

Again, I understand the angst as I have a very young child myself. But I fail to see any [b]new[/b] 'crisis' here that hasn't been going on for many generations.

The crisis is that with the OOB feeder system, there's no place to put the ever-growing population of students who all have rights to attend the same TWO schools.[/quote]

This only applies to Deal, Wilson and JKLMM schools, 5 elementary and one middle and one high school.  The rest of DCPS are underenrolled with very few exceptions like Ross.[/quote]
