[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no question that OOB places have declined WOTP.  Finally, DCPS seems to be taking a stand with the upcoming Eaton renovation, effectively guaranteeing  a significant number of OOB places there well into the future.  Partly this is because folks have seen Eaton as a citywide school traditionally and partly because it may be the last opportunity to lock in OOB spaces in upper Northwest [/quote]

I don’t think this is true. They vastly scaled back the number of additional capacity to be added in the renovation after the community pushed back due to many concerns including that they would have cut the already small playground in half to accomplish adding the proposed increase.[/quote]

Eaton is still like 40+ OOB and DCPS yet is insisting on expanding the school to a level that is greater than today’s over-capacity number.  (Yes, one might logically ask, how can a school be almost half OOB and yet be significantly over-capacity?).  Eaton’s IB area is not expected to grow that much - a lot of it is historic district.  Of course the expansion is partly about maintaining OOB enrollment.[/quote]
