I agree there seems to be little point in this. If it's to be in Penn Quarter, Thomson and SWWFS are adequately serving their populations.  If you can't serve low-income kids well, then this basically to get at the upper-income kids in the Walker-Jones boundary.  But they're fine at Seaton, Friendship-Armstrong, Garrison, and Langley.  The application said Wards 1 and 2, but I just don't see a ton of need there at the elementary level.

Having it downtown doesn't seem terrible to me, since it's a place that all the metro lines and lots of buses go. If they put it in Congress Heights, families in Brightwood and Deanwood wouldn't have an easy time getting there. This could be good for families where someone commutes downtown--and that's not just rich families. With that said, stuff like before and aftercare would also be important to make it work for families.[/quote]
