[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing in this thread was informative except for the fact that there are people in this town who would love to dig a moat around Ward 3 schools and pull up the draw bridge to anyone outside of the neighborhood. Good luck with that.

BTW, it was the OOB families that kept some of these schools viable for years. That was certainly true at Deal.

I will say this though - and it will not be popular with friends: If geographic logic entered the conversation, the only schools that should feed to Deal are Janney, Murch and Layfayette. Mann, Key, Hyde and Hearst should feed to Hardy. Oyster children should stay at Oyster until HS. Shepherd should feed to Takoma EC. Crestwood to West or MacFarland. Bancroft should feed to Lincoln.

The above will not provide any diversity at Deal, but didn't you buy your house so that you wouldn't have to rub shoulders with certain people?[/quote]

I largely agree with your breakdown.  However, McFarland is on the closure list so that's not an option.  And, Takoma is an EC, not a real MS, so it's not really fair to pull that rug out from under Shepherd unless and until there's a viable MS they can attend.  Also, Crestwood is a neighborhood, not an ES.  I think you're right about all the others.  Janney, Murch, Lafayette definitely to Deal.  Hearst to Deal.  Shepherd to Deal.  Mann, Key, Hyde, Stoddert, Eaton definitely to Hardy.  Oyster stay at Oyster.  Bancroft to either Oyster or Lincoln.[/quote]
