[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: If both Deal and Hardy fed into Wilson, would that exceed Wilson's capacity?
[/quote]

Deal- capacity 1200, three grades=400 per grade
Hardy - capacity 500, three grades=166 per grade

Wilson- capacity 1600, four grades=400 per grade

So the per-grade capacity of Deal and Hardy combined is about 40% greater than Wilson. Granted, 100% of Deal and Hardy graduates don't go to Wilson.  But Deal has only been super-popular for a few years, the kids who are in Wilson now are kids who were in Deal when it was significantly smaller. And Wilson is about 10% over capacity right now.  The middle school drama of the past few years is about to get repeated for high school.[/quote]

Wilson should be expanded. Most DC-area public high schools, in popular neighborhoods, are close to 2,000 students and growing. Deal is already large for a jr high or middle school so expanding Deal may not be a good idea... If Hardy made the uniforms optional would more IB students attend? [/quote]

Its not the uniforms, its the academics.

There are limited language options, advanced math students have to travel to Ellington, etc. There is a wide gap between what advanced students get at Deal vs Hardy.[/quote]
