[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are OP numbers. Not large WOTP growth. https://planning.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/op/publication/attachments/Neighborhood%20Cluster%20Age%200-4.pdf

The first chart in particular shows elementary age growth and yes while there is 0-17 growth WOTP in the second the highest area around Lafayette has 1/3 the growth of Petworth.

If you want to build to match WOTP growth numbers like this build to that limit. Do not making fleeing west an option for Petworth or Ward 1. Pull off the band aid. No additional floor on Deal if that is a trade off for a new elementary school between Spring Road and Military Road. Fill up Ward1 and 4 schools and have NONE of their students going to Hearst, Deal, Wilson.

This is ugly politics but it’s how you get the mix you want in more schools, period. [/quote]

We’ll know that DC is planning ahead for Ward 1 when they build a middle school for Shaw.
Unless their plan to deal with Shaw growth is just to chase all the Shaw kids out of the system by 3rd grade.
In fact, it does seem like that is the current plan.[/quote]
