[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the key to reducing overcrowding in Deal/Wilson, and creating a very good middle school in the new Wells middle right of the bat, is the cohort of students at Lafayette, Bancroft, and Shepherd.  Those three schools make a very well performing cohort (in terms of academics) of students.  Push them over to Wells, and you've got a compelling new school.  Take them out of Deal/Wilson, and the overcrowding problem is solved.  I think it's a pretty good deal, from an outsider's perspective.[/quote]

Except there is one problem - the boundary, review is not set to start until '22-'23 and it takes a year or so to implement and then there is a 5-year grandfathering period, so that leaves at least 10 years from when Wells opens. Wells cannot wait for these three schools to fix it right away. [/quote]

I don’t envy the Wells principle. That school will be under tremendous pressure to perform. If the scores are on the right trajectory in 2023, rezoning WOTP school becomes more feasible. But the current feeder schools are significantly below the performance of WOTP Elementarys so Wells has its work cut out for the next five years. [/quote]
