[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh. there are 1700 kids at Wilson. My high school had 2500. Just expand the building...[/quote]

Very hard to do at this site, unless Wilson wants to give up its track and field.

It would be better to reopen Western High School at the Duke Ellington site instead of expanding Wilson further.  Move Ellington to a more central location near a Metro stop, as its students come from around the city.  A new WOTP high school could move right into the building with very little reconfiguration.

That ship has sailed.

One solution to the over crowding at Wilson is to stop Oyster Adams middle school from feeding to Wilson. This school is in Kalorama/Dupont. Can they feed go to Mcfarland? [/quote]
Adams is a drop in the bucket of kids going to Wilson- like 10 kids the year DS finished there.  Most went to Walls, DE or privates.   Roosevelt makes more sense anyway with its international program option, but the reality is simply that kids will choose private or move rather than attending a non-Wilson option, which would wreck one of the best performing middle schools in the city in order to prevent 15 kids from attending Wilson.  Yay![/quote]

Another analysis of these kids not following the feeder patterns is that we can shift the feeder to Roosevelt and change expectations with minimal actual loss to the grieving homeowners, I mean, families.[/quote]
