[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it will be immensely popular. The building will be gorgeous, it will not be overcrowded and kids peers from Hardy will be there. It is also perhaps more convenient than Wilson for some definitely for those in the key boundary.

Have you seen plans for this “gorgeous” building? Roughly 500 out of the 1500 kids attending will be at-risk out of boundary by design, according to the plan. It’s sole purpose isn’t to serve the surrounding community. They’re setting a precedent for an entirely new system here.[/quote]

How will someone living east of the park (aka not zoned for hardy or deal) who is at risk get to the school via public transit in less than an hour. They know they will never get that many at risk kids from oob enrolling.   If they really wanted to do this they should at least do it at Wilson which is right on the metro.  [/quote]

I'm not even sure how somebody who ISN'T at risk would get to this school EotP.  Palisades from Capitol Hill or Ward 5, a real headache due to bad traffic downtown.  Take the Red Line to Dupont or Tenley Town and a bus over?  Some sort of DCPS shuttle bus from a Red Line Metro stop would be needed to make the commute work, and it would still take EotP students 45 mins or an hour to get to this site.  Having a parent willing to drive a kid wouldn't necessarily help much, not to Palisades during rush hour.[/quote]
