[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might be willing to give serious consideration to Jefferson if it still fed to Wilson, even if it Wilson wouldn't necessarily be at the top of my list.  Eastern is a nonstarter so there doesn't seem to be any reason to jump on the Jefferson bandwagon.[/quote]

Jefferson hasn't fed to Wilson for many, many years. Before this most recent boundary change, Jefferson fed to Eastern but many families IB for Jefferson were also IB for Wilson.  So if they sent kids to Jefferson, they had a choice of Wilson (based on geography) or Eastern (based on feeder pattern).

If the only general admission high school you'd accept is Wilson, the only feeder option seems to be Hardy (or Adams if you're bilingual--Deal doesn't offer any OOB slots).  Charterwise, what are the options you'd be willing to take (I'm guessing BASIS, Latin, or DCI?).  They're not going to have room for everyone who wants to go there.  Some families will therefore move or go private--or do Jefferson for middle and then see how their kids do in the applications for Banneker, SWW, McKinley Tech, or Ellington.[/quote]

Many, many? I wouldn't call it that many. I have only taught for 10 years and Jefferson was definitely feeding to Wilson for the first 5 years of those. [/quote]
