[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not think so.
More students at Hardy = more students at Wilson.

Feeder rights for Shepherd and Bancroft into Deal/Wilson have been established and confirmed for political reasons and to please their IB constituency . Bowser's Ward 4 Crestwood voters have been recently rewarded with extended rights into the over-over-crowded  Deal and Wilson...

An enlarged Hardy would only benefit a relatively small number of OB students, not a well-defined constituency.

An enlarged Hardy would just worsen Wilson overcrowding (a severe problem for DCPS) without bringing political returns.

I agree. I do not see this happening. [/quote]

It's more likely that DCPS eventually will move Hardy out of the Wilson feeder system completely.  [b]If you recall, the first version of the DME plan contemplated Hardy feeding to a "TBD" (the term used was "new") high school.[/b]  Short of something crazy like renaming Hardy for Marion Barry, I can't think of anything that would so cripple Hardy as to take it out of Wilson.[/quote]

I'm telling you from the inside: that was never a serious option. There are numerous reasons it was listed, but a legit possibility it was not.

By the way, Wilson may be the best high school in DC, but it is far from stellar. It is comparable to Hardy. The test scores, controlling for environment, are slightly better than Hardy, but not by much. [/quote]
