[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, the real solution is to build another ES in upper NW DC, which is not going to happen but is the natural solution when all neighboring schools are also overcrowded. Then some ES will need to be rezoned to Hardy. 
Is Wilsok over crowded?[/quote]

The last thing we need to do is build another ES in upper NW.  If Eaton (45% IB) and Hearst (27% IB) had realistic boundaries and average W3 IB participation rates (85%), there would space for 359 kids.

If Janney parents to prefer to have kids sitting on each other laps, so be it.[/quote]

Hearst is only desirable to Janney parents if they can fully take it over and reconfigure it to their specific needs (a la an early childhood campus for Janney). Of course, the needs and desires of current Hearst families weren't even considered because apparently Janney has a birth right over all things Ward 3  :roll: .[/quote]

No, but as long as DC is to have a neighborhood school system in theory, the needs and desires of those in Ward 3 have to take longterm priority over those in other parts of the city who understandably want to Continue to enjoy wide access to schools like Hearst.[/quote]

But this doesn't mean that you go with the icky solution of "annexing" Hearst.  A boundary shift would work just as well and make infinitely more sense.[/quote]

Someone should do the analysis. If Hearst became a PK-2 school, how many kids in the catchment area of both Janney and Hearst would that be? How many kids would that move out of Janney, in terms of PK-2, and how many Hearst IB kids grades 3-5 would it add? It's just a numbers analysis.
