[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowser's idea to create a new "Western" high school isn't a bad one.  It would relieve the existing pressure on Wilson immediately (with room to grow), and maybe send the Hardy and SWW-FS kids to the new Western.  Don't know of an existing building big enough to house it, though.[/quote]

I'm the OP of this thread. The way Bowser talked about it seems like it would be more of a medium-term possibility (5-10 years from now). She seems to be driven to make Banneker @ Shaw a tangible reality that is accomplished during her 2nd term in office.

If I had to guess, a new WOTP high school would probably be something that's open to all DC residents. Therefore, that leaves us with either a charter or a magnet school.  And it would probably only be in the initial planning phase by the time Bowser leaves office. Bowser seems to be very focused on expanding/building schools that are open to all DC residents. She also seemed to hint that the "population pattern" wasn't quite there yet for a new WOTP high school. I think she wants to see demand increase, for capacity WOTP to be more constrained than relative to today. [/quote]
