[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are currently at 90% capacity, then they can fit another 120 students or so. By DCPS logic, 100% capacity = 125% capacity.[/quote] They are 31 students short of capacity now. The senior class is the smallest they have. No one knows what the incoming 9th grade will look like. That would be 10 6th, 7th and 8th graders. Not enough to justify hiring teachers. [/quote] They could put two or three self-contained special ed HS classes there--the arts programming could allow for some integration as well. For whatever reason https://dcps.dc.gov/specialeducation only lists the classroom locations for 2016-7, but it looks like there are no BES/CES/autism support HS classrooms WOTP. Using the arts space for the schools currently served by Fillmore and using Fillmore for elementary (including offering lots of ECE classrooms--kind of like Dorothy Height) is another good idea that would help meet strong demand for PK WOTP.
