[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think something has to give with the Euclid boundary by the time the building opens. The school is practically in the CHEC and Tubman boundaries.  There are parts of Ross, Seaton, Thomson, Garrison, Oyster and Marie Reed where Francis-Stevens might make more sense. I predict current FS families and families in the south west side of the current Cardozo zone will not make the trek north to Euclid. Meaning that with current boundaries I don’t see a huge uptick for in-bound participation at Euclid over Cardozo.

And then you have parts of Bancroft and Raymond as well as Marie Reed and HD Cooke where CHEC might make sense. Then you have parts Tubman, Bruce-Monroe, Marie Reed, Cleveland, Garrison, and Seaton where Euclid makes sense.

All this to say whether it’s when the school opens or later, the boundaries I estimate will shift. Hopefully in a way that increases inbound participation at CHEC, FS and Euclid (assuming current Bancroft and Oyster families scream bloody murder at an infringement of their “rights”). [/quote]

This is obvious if you just look at the maps. Bancroft currently has programmatic feeder rights to CHEC, but it still doesn’t make sense when CHEC is literally across 16th Street from the Bancroft boundary. Plus there are plans to open a Pre-K center in the Tubman boundary in the old DPR building next to CHEC.  That plus opening more middle school capacity in Ward 1 will be the needed events to remove Bancroft from the Deal orbit.  All the feeder patterns in central DC will need reworked.[/quote]
