[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thats nutty. If there are only 500 seats for inbounds this will not relieve pressure on Wilson significantly. This would only work if other new high schools were created. [/quote]

This will work better if fewer elementary schools fed into Deal, and instead went to Hardy.  Both Wilson and Deal are overcrowded so stopping Hardy going to Wilson only solves one part of the problem. [/quote]

Deal feeders: Bancroft ES (627 kids), Janney ES (681), Lafayette ES (902), Shepherd ES (372), Hearst ES (346) and Murch ES (597) = 3525 kids in the ES feeders, but this will shrink by 500 seats to account for redistricting to Foxhall ES. So probably around 3000 kids in the ES feeders for the 1600 kids that should be at Wilson HS (currently has 1900 kids)

Hardy feeders: Eaton ES (429), Hyde/Addison ES (386), Key ES (346), Mann ES (394), and Stoddert ES (428). Plus, future Foxhall (500). So around 2500 kids in ES feeders once Foxhall is going.

Given that MacArthur HS can only hold 1000, the ES feeder pattern will be a problem potentially worse than Wilson HS's ES feeders.[/quote]

Aren’t 500 MacArthur seats going to OOB?[/quote]

Noooooooo. I think nearly half will be re-zoned from existing ES's - Key, Stoddert, and Mann.

I should add that this will have knock-on effects for all of the ES boundaries in Ward 3. By sending kids in the portions of Mann, Stoddert, and Key to Foxhall, they can then add back more kids from the over-filled Janney and Lafayette ES boundaries.

The addition of Foxhall ES will trigger redrawing the boundaries for pretty much all the schools WoTP. [/quote]
