[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got a more accurate count from a Wilson teacher--at least 740 freshmen. [/quote]

That's crazy, if true--about 50 percent more than expected, if I remember correctly from our tour that 450-500 freshman were expected. Where could all of those extra kids have come from? I thought Wilson stopped taking out-of-boundary students because of overcrowding? Even if an unprecedented number of in-boundary freshman came to Wilson from Latin, Basis, and private schools, it can't possibly account for this large a change.[/quote]

If you recall, last year the chancellor came out with a plan for ensuring attrition at Wilson--stuff related to not letting in siblings of OOB Wilson students, not allowing in students who aged out, and another new "policy" or two (can't recall now...maybe something to do with truancy?). I'm guessing these policies weren't put into place. AND if you do a little auditing, I wonder if it would review that some OOB students were allowed to enroll...DC is sort of infamous for its favors.
