[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how such an impactful decision re: schools for Wards 2 and 3 means that dcps will have just one meeting with each impacted school, and that's it.

This tells me they've already made their decision and all this is wasted time for theatric purposes only.

My vote would be a second high school.  Preferably make current Hardy MS a high school since it's on Wisconsin Ave and easier bus access.  [/quote]

Yeah, I'm sure the decisions have already been made. Though Hardy MS seems too small to be a HS. The space is just too small. But I agree, there needs to be a new Western HS. I wish they'd just had the foresight for the Duke Ellington site. But then again, DCPS isn't made up of the best and brightest...

I think the bigger issue is kids who walk to school will now be driven (Glover Park to Foxhall can be 2 mi+, due to the lack of east-west connections). There is going to be such a mess. Most of these students will be closer to Hyde (which honestly makes much more sense).[/quote]

A high school at Hardy’s space would be a mini school only. It doesn’t have the fields or the space to accommodate a robust high school offering a variety of sports and a curriculum with the same caliber of course choices as Wilson. What a joke that would be to have when losing the Wilson feed.[/quote]

Jelleff, across the street.  Plus, if they really wanted to spend some money, they could dig out a parking lot under the current lot and create a big sports playing field on top.  Even better, the new Western could share classrooms with the always-underused Duke Ellington building and create a really awesome campus incorporating the already impressive magnet arts and music program.[/quote]
