[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke Ellington is located in what was once Western High School. It is a much more centralized location for a high school and on major bus routes. Let’s renovate the old Georgetown Day site to suit Ellington’s needs and turn the bazillion dollar, presumably gold-plated Western High building back over to a regular public high school.[/quote] Duke Ellington is not really central and is on a bus route but not a major one but it would be a much better location than Foxhall for some school capacity so your broader point is a good one. But that ship has sailed - DC spent what 250 million on Ellington and the school has all sorts of classrooms and studio spaces that will be of no use to a standard HS. Again there is excess capacity EOTP in recently renovated DCPS buildings and many of the students crowding Deal and Wilson are coming from EOTP - why should DC spend money in Foxhall when simpler and cheaper solutions exist?[/quote]
