(1) There are few suitable sites owned by the DC government.  Ellington, the old Western HS site, supposedly is planned for renovation.  Although logically a new Ellington should be located more centrally, closer to Metro and ideally adjacent to a major performing arts venue, many at Ellington apparently suspicious of any suggestion that the school no longer be in Georgetown.  Another possibility, the old Hardy school site on Resevoir Rd., is mostly controlled by DPR and is probably too small for a high school site.

The old Hardy site is over five acres, more than twice the size of the current Ellington site.  The rec center is no longer controlled by DPR, all DPR properties were transferred to DGS in October 2011 -- which shows that transferring property between agencies is no big deal.[/quote]

Provide evidence of the accuracy of these numbers. I've read (somewhere not quite reputable) different numbers showing Ellington slightly larger than Old Hardy (including, I believe, DPR land).

You mention the Rec CENTER. This is distinct from the grounds, no? If so, you are engaging in deliberate obfuscation. [/quote]

You can access the DC Atlas here:

Set the basemap to "DC Property Basemap" using the drop-down on the right.  This will allow you to see all property lines and square/lot numbers.

The street address of the old Hardy School is 1550 Foxhall Road, NW. It is square 1363, lot 0980. The street address of the rec center is 4500 Q Street NW, square 1363, lot 0981.

The street address of Ellington is 3601 Reservoir Road NW. It is square 1293 lot 0803.

The DC real property assessment records are searchable here:
https://www.taxpayerservicecenter.com/RP_Search.jsp?search_type=Assessment

If you search for each square and lot, here's what you get for land area, in square feet, for each lot:

1363 0980  49,853=1.44 acres
1363 0981 204,910=4.70 acres
At Hardy: 6.14 acres

1293 0803	126,701=2.91 acres
