[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been following this. MacArthur isn't up and running yet, so this is a future thing?
However this is what I predict--MacArthur will be all in-bounds (it's hard to get to), JR will be even more OOB. 
No?

MacArthur is open, but Hardy students still have feeder rights for Jackson-Reed until 2025. After that they lose their rights. There’s plenty of space for them at Jackson-Reed if the OOB population was cut down (there are currently over 700 OOB students at J-R). But the school opted to kick out people who bought property in-boundary for J-R in order to keep an enormous number of OOB students at the school. It’s clear that city leadership doesn’t want a local Ward 3 school.

The way the city split up the schools now, neither Deal nor Hardy will have enough students to fill up the high school they feed into. The extra spaces are going to be open city-wide slots. It’s a way for the city to ensure that the two schools are going to be permanently hybrids of IB and city-wide high schools.

Despite all this, Bowser keeps trying to cut the funding for J-R.[/quote]
