[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School 1: Brightwood, Janney, Lafayette, March, Powell, Shepherd and West

School 2: Bancroft, Cooke, Eaton, Hearst, Hyde, Marie Reed, Mann, Oyster-Adams, and Stoddert

Both would be around 500 a class

How does this not work?  It checks the most positive blocks and the least amount of negative ones.  Each has diversity.  Each has a highly educated population.  Each brings in currently underserved but growing areas.  It's geographically sound.  It's hugely symbolic by uniting both sides of the park.  Each increases resident and student retention.  Each increases property values.  Each has schools with available OOB spots.  Each would be filled.[/quote]

You missed Key.  But no way that is just 1000 kids from 17 schools - that is 59 kids per school - Janney, Murch and Lafayette are double that every year right now.

And Mann and Hearst are both much closer to Deal/Wilson than Lafayette is.

And where is the physical building for these kids that you propose.

But I think you broader point is sound - that you could get a viable mix of kids from these schools for another thriving MS/HS.[/quote]

Janney/Lafayette /Murch = ~400, but all the other schools are much smaller.[/quote]
