[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]When MacFarland was open, how many of your Crestwood neighbors chose MacFarland over Deal?  That's likely the most empirical evidence here.[/quote]

That is not valid empirical evidence because the MacFarland that will be reopened will have almost nothing in common with the MacFarland that closed (or at least one hopes). But, to answer the question, none went there. Similarly, almost the entire time that we have lived inbounds for Powell, no neighbors sent children there. That only started happening in the last couple of years. If we judged by the numbers during the time MacFarland was open, we would conclude that nobody in Crestwood would go to Powell. We know that is simply not true.  Powell changed and we expect that MacFarland will also change.

BTW, the fact that there was 100% avoidance of Powell (and I believe West) among Crestwood residents for at least 15 years is pretty good empirical evidence of the neighborhood's ability to avoid schools that aren't liked.
