The DC population situation is someone teeter tottering. But DCPS HS enrollment was up considerably last school year.

Something like 10 percent of the students at JacksonReedWilson in fact reside in Maryland,[/quote]

Gonna need to show your work here.[/quote]

Ask the kids who they know who lives in "Ward 9."[/quote]

If this is true, it would really tick me off that an overstretched school is hosting Marylanders.[/quote]

Why would anyone pick JR over a close in MD school?[/quote]
No one would. [/quote]

No one would leave Whitman for ex-Wilson.  But compared to a lot of PG high schools it might seem attractive.[/quote]
This is where people overrate J-R and underrate PG County schools. I presume it’s because folks are white and think PG County schools are as bad as DCPS schools in Wards 7 and 8. If there is any significant enrollment from students in different jurisdictions, it would be DC residents attending PG County schools and not PG County residents sending their kids to J-R. [/quote]

Almost anywhere else J-R would be considered a below-expectations to middling school, but by DCPS standards it's perceived as a good school.[/quote]
