[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP can talk to the LSAT all she wants without the LSAT being able to fix the crowding. Brent is out of real estate and in the possession of a 10 million budget to build a six-classroom addition the school can't spend, because DCPS no longer renovates piecemeal. Ditching PS3 would make little difference - ECE classes are far too small to serve as regular classes.  The principal is hardly allowing any OOB kids to enroll - its a myth that a bunch of OOB siblings are coming in.  THere were only 3 in 1st grade this year.  The issue is that too many IB kids are coming into the lower grades for class sizes to stay small and there's really no room on campus for more classroom trailers.  Only DCPS can fix the problem by adding classroom space.

Take out the PK3 and then you can do some remodeling to get the room sizes you need.

Who is getting all the waitlist offers displayed on this site?  IB kids would not be waitlisted in K and above, so is has to be OOB.[/quote]

OOB siblings and military kids got those waitlist offers.  [/quote]

Seems like a vast quantity of offers, though:

K 28
1st 8
2nd 22
3rd 20
4th 16
5th 21[/quote]

Aren't these just offers made? It doesn't mean they accepted 28 OOB kinders, just that #28 got a call. They could have accepted only one according to this data, correct? How do we find the real number of OOB students? And do they count students who got in IB but moved OOB as IB or OOB?[/quote]
