[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.  [b]It's hugely symbolic by uniting both sides of the park[/b].  Each increases resident and student retention.  Each increases property values.  Each has schools with available OOB spots.  Each would be filled.[/quote]

Sounds good, where would you put #2?[/quote]

I'm over cross-park "symbolism."   It's not the Eighties anymore in DC.  Barry is gone, Klingle Road (touted as a symbolic cross-town route to schools) is a bike trail, and most neighborhoods east of the park are gentrified.  I don't want my child or her schools to be some symbolic guinea pig.  [/quote]
