[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any idea which of the current Hardy classes will be the first at this high school? Current 6th graders or 7th graders? The GDS space is not particularly well-suited for a 1000 student high school. Depending on the extent of the needed improvements, this might take a while.

When they discussed this initially they thought one year.  But if they need $45 million in improvements wonder if that is feasible, unless the plans are ready to go now. [/quote]

I really hope my current Hardy 6th grader is given a choice to do Wilson. I have zero interest in having my heavily sports leaning child be relegated to a brand new school without key programs and facilities in place. [/quote]

Unlikely your current 6th grader will go to Wilson, DCPS plans to renovate and then open the new HS for 2023. Sorry, but I bet they will have a good gym and other sports stuff. [/quote]

I’m sure the gym will be fine. The 2 sports my child plays both require large outdoor fields and having driven by the MacArthur site im a little confused about how they’ll fit those in. I suppose we’ll find out, but it doesn’t sit well to feel like the rug may be pulled out from our educational path at any given moment. My child is very excited about meeting back up in HS with friends who peeled off to Deal for MS. For where we live also the commute to Wilson is significantly easier than MacArthur. The same way there’s been a handful of years for Eaton families who were rezoned to choose Deal or Hardy, I’d like to see the families that land on the cusp of this transition offered the choice as well.
