[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][H]ow many students are supposed to be in Wilson? Does anyone know that number?[/quote]
1600 is the Wilson building capacity.  Wilson was at 1696 students in 2013-14.  Only 43 students were removed from Wilson as a result of the changes.  Lots of data available from the links in the FAQ.

This is such a good example of how inept DCPS is. They know they need to make further changes to the boundaries and are just kicking the can. How will this be addressed? Does the building not have a fire code limit?[/quote]

Meanwhile, construction is underway to add six classrooms to Janney. That's probably 120-150 kids just at one school.  And every single one of them has the right to attend Deal and Wilson. So 43 subtracted due to boundary revision, 120 added due to increased capacity of feeder schools. Meanwhile, expansions are also underway or planned at Murch, Lafayette, Hearst, Eaton and Mann.  That sound you hear is a can being kicked.[/quote]
