[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is going to attend this new school?  The same Ward 2 and Ward 3 families that are not attending Hardy Middle School now?  What about this school is going to keep them in the feeer pipeline and draw them into DCPS beyond elementary school?[/quote]

Many are not attending Hardy because, until recently, they could attend Deal with minor effort. That has changed.

You can make smarmy comments all you want, but the need is there. The statistics and forecasts bear this out. Your ignorance does not change these realities. [/quote]

Sure, you could get by with only Wilson HS west of the park, by reducing its current IB area that stretches across Rock Creek and even as far as SW.  Or by changing OOB elementary-to-middle-to-HS feeder rights.  But that isn't going to happen politically.  The result is that WOTP families who were assured places at Deal and Wilson are being told that their kids may have to go elsewhere.  Hence the need for multiple, stronger local school options.  The revived Western HS concept makes enormous sense/[/quote]

It makes some sense, perhaps, but not enormous sense, unless you're of the school of thought that the only good hs education is wotp and should stay there.[/quote]
