[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think it would be a huge long-term mistake not to zone the deal feeders that are closer to the new wells middle school to wells[/quote]

Isn’t Shepherd the only one?[/quote]

Lafayette is 10 minutes. [/quote]

Dude, they’re not moving Lafayette.[/quote]

They have talked about rerouting a percentage of Lafayette. Which, dude, is a sound idea. [/quote]

People forget…Lafayette is the largest elementary in DC. Wherever you move it, you are taking in a huge amount of kids. At over 120 kids per grade, it could almost fill its own middle school. [/quote]

Wells is not prepared to absorb Lafayette as a feeder.  I can see taking in Shepard.  I assume the new housing in Walter Reed that is just coming online now will feed Wells via Takoma Elem.[/quote]

They can absorb Shepherd and 1/2 Lafayette. [/quote]

The problem is that for some reason DCPS did not invest in a big enough building when they opened Wells. If all the 6th graders from Wells’ current four feeders matriculated to Wells, it would not have enough space. Those school populations are growing and so Wells will soon be overcrowded. So I don’t think they will be able to absorb additional feeders. (I live in the neighborhood and my children attend one of the feeders.)[/quote]
