[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whittier parent here. Everything is working out logistically for the schools being across the street from each other. The principals talk frequently (calling it #manorparktowerofpower). Wells was so far above expected enrollment they established a sixth cohort and had to hire more teachers. I haven’t been inside during the day yet but all seems well. Our alumni in 6th grade come back over for hugs a lot.

As far as bilingual or immersion, we talked about it and our families don’t want it. A couple of years ago our 8th graders were second behind Brightwood for all of DCPS on a Spanish language exam. The families who do prioritize it have found other options. We’re investing (relatively speaking) in our STEM program, which we’re really excited about. [/quote]

I am a neighborhood parent and really hope Wells does well. That being said- what is the plan for year 3 and beyond when they are enrolling so many kids??? There won’t be nearly enough space for all the neighborhood kids. Why does DCPS do this?[/quote]
