[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The confusion is between in bounds and feed. A student living next door th FS would be in boundary for Wilson hs, but FS feeds Cardozo. Meaning if you are an OOB student at FS you have the option of Cardozo or your IB HS. If you are IB at FS you have the option of Wilson or Cardozo.[/quote]

Ok - thank you for clearing that up.  But the question remains - why should Eastern enter this equation at all? Why would they feed to a school so far away? [/quote]

Wilson is over capacity, Eastern under. Agree it would be odd for FS to feed Eastern. The difference in distance (FS - Wilson v. FS - Eastern) is significant but not extreme (Wilson is 4 miles, Eastern, 5.3). The closest schools with 9-12 are Cardozo and Colombia Heights at 2.1 miles. Who knows what will happen with the boundary redraw next year. Ward 2 residents who are in boundary for Wilson (West End, Foggy Bottom, Dupont Circle, Sheridan Kalorama) would be upset to be moved to any of these schools, but frankly I doubt many are in DCPS beyond ES as existing IB MS options aren't considered viable by the well heeled residents of these neighborhoods. As such an investment in FS/SWW at the middle school level could be a net gain, even if these areas are dropped from the Wilson pyramid.[/quote]
