[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coolidge, Wells, and Whittier are all over capacity in one of the fastest growing neighborhoods for families in DC. It's wild to me that DCPS just told Whittier they'll basically modernize to the same capacity and instead of building a new building for Wells just added a cafeteria for Coolidge.[/quote]

This is the part of the city I was going to mention.  Wells was overcrowded right after it was built.  Whittier keeps growing its enrollment despite a horrible old building.  When that new building is built it will be immediately overcrowded.  Why? Because DCPS refuses to plan for growth and make the school bigger.  DCPS is a truly terrible organization.[/quote]

They need a second HS but the problem is that school would almost certainly need Shepherd as a feeder and the Mayor will never let that happen. So instead Coolidge and J-R will remain massively overcrowded and growing and the solution will be to limit OOB Coolidge enrollment (fine) and address zero systemic issues.[/quote]

Omg, get a life! Why are you so obsessed with changing Shepherd’s feeder pattern? You post on every thread in this forum with that nonsense. [/quote]
