[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somebody has to be the OOB gateway.  Right now it's Shepherd.[/quote]

Shepherd has higher IB than Hearst so doesn't take that make Hearst the gateway?[/quote]

If DCPS ever gets around to updating statistics on the school,profile page, you will see this is no longer true.  Plus, Hearst"s numbers are skewed because of the autism program which is mostly OOB.  [b]The early grades at Hearst are 75% plus IB.  [/b]DCPS is going to have to come up with a new scheme to keep the Wilson/Deal pipeline open to the OOB population.  [/quote]

This is also true for Shepherd.  Give it a few more years and unless any of these schools are removed from the Deal/Wilson feed, they will all be mostly IB.[/quote]

I think you are missing the larger point that is that by any objective measure (geography, travel time, transit options, etc.), Shepherd should no longer be zoned for Deal or Wilson because of the overcrowding.  The politics are obvious.  The are many homes zoned for Hearst that you can easily walk to Deal from.  [/quote]
