[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a more likely scenario is DCPS abandons a neighborhood-based school system and goes all-lottery. Already, over three-quarters of the kids in public school don't go to their in-boundary school. Add in the private school kids and it's more like four-fifths. The Wilson feeder pattern is projected to grow by 33% between now and 2027, adding 3190 students. No school in the pattern will grow less than 22%. Shifting boundaries won't solve the problem, because there aren't nearby schools with capacity. The schools with capacity are in the eastern part of the city. The answer is build more schools or send the kids elsewhere. [/quote] Among the many problems already listed, parents ACROSS THE CITY hate this idea. In 2014 this was rejected by families in all wards. People like the idea of their IB school, even if they don't send their kids there.[/quote]
