[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SH building has some real size constraints.  You would basically need to redraw the Watkins boundary and then reroute Watkins to EH (to make room for Brent etc.).[/quote]

This is just not true. Brent has like 20-25 kids graduating each year. Maybe the SH feed would have stopped the disasterous attrition that they currently have and it would be 30. 7-8 already go to SH each year. So we're talking sending 13-22 extra each year, which is less than the number of OOB spaces they offer.

Van Ness families are equidistant-ish between Jefferson and SH; it's nowhere near as extreme as Brent. Jefferson is a totally reasonable feed for Van Ness. Chisholm doesn't actually feed super naturally to Jefferson either, but EH is equidistant a SH, so maybe that's the answer there as EH is also very underfilled. If Jefferson is totally inconvenient to most ESes, maybe something else should be switched up.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure EH is nearly full after the renovation and the growth they've had in the past few years. The middle schools were all built years ago, so of course they're not going to be perfectly located to match the current population. Any of them are still closer than most of the charters/privates for which families leave DCPS.

Looking at current 4th grade class sizes,  EH has 216 kids in 4th at feeder schools (Maury, Miner, Payne, SWS), SH has 236 (JO, LT, Watkins) and Jefferson has 226 (Amidon, Brent, Chisholm, VN). Obviously, different feeders send their kids to MS in different rates, but for the most part, the feeder populations are currently pretty balanced for each MS. [/quote]
