[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are going to build the new elementary school though they need to address first the overcrowding at Wilson. It is so crowded kids can't even take as many classes as they want among a host of other problems. A new elementary school means bringing in many more students both in boundary and out of boundary. Im totally for that but the whole system needs to be resolved and the new high school they might create will not even resolve the overcrowding. [/quote]

In 2019 the Crowding Working Group found that west of Rock Creek there needed to be two new elementary schools, a middle school and a high school by 2026. If a new high school is added the obvious move is to take Hardy out of Wilson -- which means the new high school has to be within the Hardy boundaries. In order to attract students the new middle school has to be within the Deal boundaries, and probably to the north and west of Deal. One elementary school needs to be added in each of the Hardy and Deal feeder patterns, one about where Foxhall is and one close to Lafayette.

In the meantime, adding an elementary at Foxhall won't help Wilson -- it hurts actually -- but I do think it will take some pressure off of Deal. Adding a new high school at MacArthur that is fed by Hardy takes a lot of pressure off of Wilson. But there's still work to be done. [/quote]
