[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole IB v OOB is so confusing the Wilson demographics sheet on DCPS says Wilson is 54% IB? The Wilson website says no OOB kids accepted in 2014-2015 school year BUT all who feed from a feeder school are accepted (along with matter of right IB address)

I wouldn't say confusing, I'd say f****d up.  More kids have been guaranteed the right to attend the school than the school can hold. DCPS wrote a check it can't cash.

It's been building for a few years. What really greased the skids was a decision Michelle Rhee made in 2009: Deal had suddenly become popular and there was concern that not everyone who wanted to go would be able to. Rhee announced that everyone in the feeder schools was guaranteed a spot at Deal. This decision guaranteed the crowding we have today. It hasn't helped that since then DCPS has been furiously adding capacity in the feeder schools, with no regard for what happens to those kids once they move up to the next school.[/quote]
