[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jefferson is also doing IB MYP certification, not that that helps anyone in Shepherd Park.

I agree that Bancroft and Oyster should go to MacFarland and on to Roosevelt, and Shepherd should go to New North (when it opens) and then Coolidge.

Adams could be used as a PK campus with priority for schools that don't offer PK3 and plenty of room for early stages and other special ed placements. I also imagine some schools WOTP will run out of room for PK4 eventually, so it could help manage that. [/quote]

Do you really think removing Bancroft and Shepherd is enough to alleviate Deal?

It would be a start. I also think that DCPS should not guarantee admission to Deal (or Hardy or Wilson or any middle or high school) for kids who live OOB and attend feeder schools. I don't even think those kids should get a preference. That also wouldn't be enough to right-size Deal on its own, especially as its feeders become more and more IB. Some boundaries are going to have to change, or some schools will have to start feeding Hardy. But it would help some of the EOTP schools keep dedicated families rather than have them play the lottery every year for a Wilson-feeding school. [/quote]
