[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im thinking of leaving AU Park to move in-boundary for this school so my current Janney student doesn't have to go to J-R. The idea of a small, NW high school is super appealing. Otherwise we have to move to Bethesda. [/quote]

DC is being very coy about this (since the optics don't look good). But the site location and size means that this school is meant to look demographically like a "W" school. Yes, it will be whiter than BCC if everything goes to DCPS plan. The roadmap for this school seems build off what happened to Hardy. Now that Hardy is plurality white and in-boundary; this school will mirror Hardy. (And many of the latinos at Hardy are 'white' embassy staff.) Keep in mind white students at Hardy seems to be even or out perform Deal students.

Look at where the school is. It really only works for current upper NW families. The big issue is will DC change neighborhood parking pass rules/make direct buses to Eaton/Stoddert areas. Right now many of the potentially students will qualify for zone 3 permits. So when they become juniors, they'll start parking on neighborhood streets. (My neighbors who go to J-R have their older son drive to school and use the W3 permit to part a block or two from it)[/quote]

Will the feeder patterns be changed for JR with some kids directed to this school, given bus access?[/quote]
