[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]but hardy is 87% oob[/quote]

So?  Both Hardy and Shepherd have high OOB attendance.  No real difference there.

Hardy sends more AA/Hispanic kids to Wilson than Shepherd.
Shepherd is closer to Roosevelt than to Wilson.

This means that regardless of whether you care about proximity or care about making sure that AA/Hispanic kids can keep going to Wilson (or both), the answer is that Hardy should keep feeding to Wilson.[/quote]Hardy is closer to CHEC than Wilson. I think the high school portion of CHEC could be relcated to the Roosevelt building, and the CHEC re-established as a comprehensive middle and high school, drawing in Hardy/oyster-Adams/Francis Stevens and lincoln@CHEC[/quote]

Sure, you could do that, if your goal is to make Wilson a lily-white school.   This gets back to the original question - [b]if you are concerned about shutting AA/Hispanic kids out of Wilson, why would you consider zoning the middle school that sends the most AA/Hispanic kids to Wilson out of the Wilson feeder pattern[/b]?[/quote]

Bancroft parent here - see my (lengthy!) post above. The answer to your question is, perhaps because you believe that the majority AA/hispanic kids at Hardy is a temporary phenomenon, because the IB area is mostly white and thus Hardy will become mostly white as more and more IB parents chose it and there is no room left for OOB. This is what has happened or is happening with most of the other WOTP schools. I am not advocating to remove Hardy from Wilson, by the way! Just suggesting why someone might think that. I mean, we are talking about Georgetown, right?
