[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither would be enough. Only really answer would have to be both plus Lafayette but that would suck to happen when both schools are 50-60% IB. To continue to zone out any schools while 50% of the school is OOB seems plain silly to me.[/quote]

NP.  Seems the obvious first step is to eliminate OOB feeder rights.  Shepherd is something like 50% OOB, right?  Stop letting people use it as a backdoor to Deal/Wilson.  If that doesn't reduce the overcrowding enough, then consider whether realigning boundaries makes sense.

I think you need to look at the whole set of Wilson feeders before you kick a school out due to OOB percentages. And as the PP noted, the IB percentage at all of them is increasing.

IB percentages at Wilson feeders in SY 15-16 -- I've noted the schools which have programs for special ed students as that inflates the OOB % (students placed by DCPS because their IB school isn't able to support).

Shepherd 35%
Bancroft 59%
Murch 61% (special ed classrooms)
Lafayette 85%
Hearst 33% (special ed classrooms)

Hyde-Addison 42%
Mann 81% (special ed classroom)
Eaton 50%
Stoddert 73%

Oyster-Adams 43%
