[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buying the building is fine, but the idea of moving MacArthur HS there now is nuttier than the original decision to put the school there in the first place. This idea - and the uncertainty it will create - will completely scuttle MacArthur for the foreseeable future and therefore J-R as well. It's really dumb stuff.[/quote]

No it isn't. It makes zero sense to have an essentially private public school on the furthest west, non metro accessible corner of the city. That property can become the new elementary school so Hardy Park doesn't have to be developed.[/quote]

It also makes zero sense to have two public high schools within a 5 minute drive. The location is great for those in Chevy Chase and Cathedral Heights, but it'd be a disaster for almost every in-boundary family in the Hardy feeder pattern. Hardy Park was never going to be touched by the Foxhall ES plans - that the park needed "saving" was a myth propagated by scurrilous NIMBYs who didn't want a public school anywhere near them. It's a shame that you apparently bought into it.[/quote]
