Powell already feeds Raymond Education Campus for MS and Roosevelt for HS.  This has no effect on the over-crowding at Wilson.[/quote]

I stand corrected.[/quote]

Just for the record, Powell feed to Columbia Heights Education Campus rather than Raymond.

I entered an address (1414 Upshur, which is down the street from Powell) into EBIS and got:

Elementary = Powell
Middle = Raymond
High School = Roosevelt

Is there some qualifying condition to CHEC?  [/quote]

That is really strange and makes no sense. In that area (which is not far from where I live), the boundaries are a mess There is no consistency between elementary, middle, and high school boundaries and no relationship between those and feeder patterns. For instance, I am inbounds for Powell, Deal, and Wilson. On Upshur between Arkansas and 16th, homes are inbounds for Powell, Deal, and Roosevelt. But, since Deal is a Wilson feeder, that area is essentially inbounds for Wilson because nobody would go to their inbounds middle school (Deal) an then Roosevelt. I'm sure that you would have been inbounds for MacFarland previously. Perhaps when that closed, addresses were redistributed to the area ECs?

That EBIS system is completely out of date and out of whack and has been for awhile.  It says my address in Petworth is in-boundary for Powell, Raymond EC and then Cardozo.  The new proposed boundaries take many of the kids who currently go to Powell and Bruce Monroe (both dual language) and sends them Raymond and Tubman (neither dual language).  For starters, the EC model is screwy and needs to be abolished.  Then, programmatic feeders need to be aligned.[/quote]

Thanks for the clarification.  Wow, that is crazy indeed.  [/quote]
