They're really leaning on that "if possible" with the new Wilson boundary.

Can't say I'm surprised to see SE/SW cut out but I am pissed.  Mostly at Tommy Wells, who (unlike Bowser or Graham, say what you will about them) did absolutely nothing to try and keep folks in Wilson.  He is totally in the pocket of folks on Capitol Hill who want to see Eastern improved and don't care that there were kids in Ward 6 who actually had a shot at attending a good high school.  Wells said at a community meeting that he'd never met any constituents who'd bought in SW because it was inbounds for Wilson.  He is a moron.[/quote]

Wilson was, and will continue to be, one of (if not the most) racially diverse school in DCPS. [/quote]

Especially because they are retaining Hardy - the most diverse middle school in DC - as a Wilson feeder.

Hardy is not nearly as diverse as Deal.

Hardy:
 Black: 64%
 Hispanic/Latino: 14%
 White: 11%
 Asian: 8%
 Pacific/Hawaiian: 0%
 Native/Alaskan: 0%
 Multiple races: 2%

Deal:
 Black: 31%
 Hispanic/Latino: 14%
 White: 43%
 Asian: 6%
 Pacific/Hawaiian: 0%
 Native/Alaskan: 0%
 Multiple races: 6%

If you count EC's Francis-Stevens is more diverse than Hardy too.[/quote]
