[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those 5 mile away Deal families might be out of luck soon.  Deal and Wilson are reaching a breaking point in attendance.  Something has to give soon.[/quote]

Even if that were the case, they'd still be commuting 3-4 miles somewhere else. The city is too big to have dedicated middle and high schools within 1 mile walking distance. Asking for a middle school that is under 2 miles in the DC is unreasonable. Even if we created a middle school for every neighborhood that was within 2 miles, they would be empty. I cannot believe that Hill families complain about a middle school that is under 2 miles from them. Heck, my elementary school is 1 mile away. [/quote]

that was my initial point.  Hill people get red in the face if they don't get their "neighborhood middle school" but this is common in other parts of the District.  It's code for 'I won't send my kid to Jefferson because it's too far away and not because I won't give the school a chance'[/quote]
