[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if i lived in-bound for hardy, id choose the new school over JR.  id want the better commute.  JR is huge (even if that size allows for more AP class offerings etc.).  eventually, even if you have a sibling at JR, you might choose the new school if thats where neighborhood peers are going.  but there will be a sizeable citywide oob contingent at the new hs for awhile.  by opening a new school w/in the hardy boundary, dcps avoided rezoning some of the deal feeder schools out of deal/JR.[/quote]

If you lived in bounds for Hardy, you’d know that MacArthur is not a better commute for most of the in-bounds students.[/quote]

It is very bad for the Eaton students, mostly good for Stoddert, overwhelmingly good for HA and key and mixed for Mann. But using travel times (as the lowest of walk, public transit, or bike), it is better for the majority of current IB hardy students. Now for OOB Hardy students, it will be worse for every single one of them. This assumes that that no new bus routes are made.

This school only really works as a commute for about 75% of IB Hardy students, or less than 50% of the current hardy population (if you include OOB students), math is 75%IB shorter commute*62%IB = 47%[/quote]

(continuing the post)

This school is designed to be very white and very rich, there is almost no way the city can do anything to change that. Hell the relatively liberal GDS thought that site was a problem as being in the middle of NIMBY-land too (plus consolidation).[/quote]
