[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MacFarland and Roosevelt has nothing to do with the Shepherd Park neighborhood.

Not sure of the points being made about it when it's not in the feeder zone/pattern for SP.

The real question is will their be a stand alone MS for the Brightwood, Riggs Park, Takoma DC and the likes in the future.[/quote]

MacFarland and Roosevelt have everything to do with easing overcrowding at schools WOTP.  If there's a viable standalone middle school in Ward 4, fewer parents will care about whether or not they can get into Deal.

The OP is concerned about school options and property values in 16th Street Heights and SP.  Both of those concerns are alleviated by a decent MacFarland and Roosevelt.[/quote]

WOTP will always have OOB slots (until there aren't any) where parents will choose a feeder elementary into Deal. Deal doesn't have OOB slots, therefore your left in the same boat with getting into the elementary schools.

[b]MacFarland may turn into a gem, but what middle class family stays for any of its feeders besides West and maybe Powell at the moment.[[/b]/quote]

At the moment, MacFarland doesn't even exist.  But there are now more middle class families at the elementaries that would feed into it and the growth is not slowing down.  There are a lot of strollers EOTP and it seems every third woman I see is pregnant.  They can't all get into charters or Deal feeders.

Shepherd Park and West [i]are[/i] Deal feeders.  But if MacFarland becomes an acceptable alternative to Deal - which is now possible because of the demographic shift - then families in those neighborhoods may feel it makes more sense than Deal.

I have a hard time understanding why there are so many naysayers to that proposition.
