[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, a Ward 3 high school is an old solution to a new DC. No thank you.[/quote]

No, the absence of an old high school represents the original solution for the old DC, now missing.  If you doubt me, please see the following history:

In any event, surely you know Ellington/Western is in Ward 2?  What we're really talking about is getting our Ward 2 high school back, because the new DC needs it just like the old DC did.  There's no good reason I can see that Ward 2 students should feed into Ward 3 Wilson HS. [b] I don't even know why parts of Ward 2 are called "NorthWest" when there's nothing "North" about it. [/b] Georgetown should be deemed part of SW. [/quote]

Look at the original map of DC, when parts of Virginia were part of the District, including Arlington and Alexandria. You'll clearly see why Georgetown is part of "Northwest":
