Pick around this area .dcps is making very hard to get to the school. The city need to do  something about this problem like deal did [/quote]

This. To get to the new high school from just over a mile away, the kids would have to take three buses (mass ave, wisconsin ave, and then back out macarthur). It's a major deterrent for these neighborhood families. [/quote]

If they are just over a mile away, they can walk.

Biking would be nice too, but bike infrastructure sucks over there. [/quote]

Few students will live within a mile.  We're in Wesley Heights, and Apple Maps puts the walk at 2 mi and 45 min (in the downhill direction).  All of the Eaton boundary is significantly farther (3-5 miles).[/quote]

That’s far. How do they get to Deal and JR now?[/quote]

They don't go to deal.... they go to Hardy.[/quote]

Correct.  But to get to J-R and (in the old days) Deal, they walk, bike, ride the bus, or get dropped off.  Because J-R and Deal are much closer to them and are  centrally located at the center of several major roads.

Macarthur is convenient to almost no one.  You would never pick it for it's location, unless you were aiming to be accessible to VA and MD commuters.[/quote]

For almost all of the MacArthur catchment, MacArthur is closer than JR. [/quote]

Your data?  For students living inbounds for Eaton and most of Mann, it is not closer.  And for a bunch of other students, Macarthur may be closer as the crow flies, but not easier to get to.[/quote]

My data is looking at a map. [/quote]
