[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If dcps sent shepherd and Lafayette to new north, it would encourage more tec and other families feel good about ms and hs, while reducing crowding at Wilson.

To the issue of whether there's enough space at new north, tbere is if new north and Coolidge are considered together. Put 6 and 7th grades in new north, 8th inits own wing at Coolidge, [b]and there's still plenty of room for 9-12.[/b][/quote]

Maybe. But since half of the high school at Coolidge will be a city-wide application program, drawing students from who knows where, enrollment isn't clear at all at this point. I'm not saying that the idea of re-routing Lafayette and Shepherd doesn't have merit, but they aren't going to do it initially.

Also since most families at Lafayette are wealthy I would assume most will exercise other options (moving mostly). They just are not going to cross the park for an experiment. The IB families at Shepherd are also upper middle class, and the OOB ones are there mostly for the Deal feed. If it no longer exists they won't necessarily wind up at New North either.
