[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lets wait until there are no W3 kids in trailers and the schools have excess capacity before going on a building boom.[/quote]

Why wait?  None of the residents will be coming for the schools, given that the pyramid is now crap, because of Wilson.  QED. [/quote]

You sound quite gleeful. Greater Washington, perhaps?[/quote]

Just trying to get clarity.

Is the Deal zone still desirable for families with kids, or not? [/quote]

98% of parents in DC would tell you that the entire Wilson feeder pattern is desirable for families with kids.

I think [b]a tiny minority on DCUM[/b] are saying they will avoid Wilson when the time comes. Who knows what they will actually do.[/quote]

That, or someone who works for the developer lobby is trying to create the impression that some people will avoid Wilson.  I think the odds are close to zero that any parent who is talking about avoiding Wilson today would have considered sending their kids there the in the years before "Honors for All" was being implemented.

According to my kid, there has been a really significant change in the environment of the school due to:

1. Under-the-radar efforts to get rid of kids with serious discipline issues (not sure how, but my kid knows of many [b]kids with a history of fights or drug sales who were at Wilson and were suddenly gone after the rash of overdoses[/b] in, I think, 2017).

2. The changing demographic makeup of the student body with more in boundary kids, a change that my kid laments but many parents who are afraid of a diverse school probably welcome.

Students who conduct illegal activity are usually sent to one DC's alternative school, at least for a time. I know of a kid caught selling drugs at McKinley who went there for a semester but was ultimately allowed to return to McKinley.

If a kid with behavior problems or history of tardiness or unexcused absences is OOB, they can lose their OOB seat and return to their IB school.
