[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of these options will lead to an exodus WOTP. This area will still have great ES and MS options. The major issue is HS if Wilson goes city wide. Recall the idea that lots of highly educated white people would send their kids to Wilson is less than 5 years old - and still not something the majority of WOTP families are comfortable with. This will have a minor if at all measurable impact on real estate prices. [/quote]

Some highly educated white people have been sending their kids to Wilson all along - the ones who live in Ward 3 in those expensive houses and people on the Hill and other desirable places outside of ward 3.

A bunch of other Ward 3 parents -- much wealthier, in many cases, send their kids to the several private schools, also conveniently located in ward 3 - for proximity to the families they serve.

Most parents, regardless of wealth, prefer near-by preferably walkable schools for their kids, whether public or private.

Some parents are willing to send their kids long distances for a good education, but it's hard to imagine the success of a plan that requires most parents to do this.[/quote]
