If the calculation in the application is repeated using the actual zoning regulations for PUDs, the requested density of the school parcel is actually higher than allowed for a non-residential use for a PUD on that site.

[/quote]So you're saying it's less dense than what could be built there with apartment buildings and houses. Sounds like the big problem is all these houses nearby.

I am saying that there is no density to be transferred from the school parcel to the mixed use parcel, since the high school and proposed lower school buildings have about 20,00 more square feet of development than would be allowed on those lots with a PUD.

If, instead, GDS was proposing to replace its current high school and Safeway site with a matter of right development, there could be no more than 24 semi-detached single family homes (probably much less after space is allowed for access roads) and an apartment building where the Safeway building and WMATA plant is now located.  That apartment building could be about 220,000 square feet and no more than 50 feet in height.  A private school is not a matter of right use in that zone.
