Can't add Capital Hill because the recommendations don't appear to resolve over-crowding issues there. I defined the topic as overcrowding because that is the issue that I was always told this was supposed to resolve. To your point about creating Deal@Unicorn, we were specifically told these recommendations were not about improving schools. But, if you want to create a topic about that, feel free.

The recommendations will help resolve stirrings of over-crowding on the Hill in a roundabout way.  Because the Brent and Maury IB parents are effectively being told that they will not have viable by-right middle schools, or a high school either, for at least 15 years, the recommendations are already serving to dampen demand somewhat.

Hill parents know that demand at Washington Latin and BASIS,where there is no longer room for all comers, will increase steadily over the years. [/quote]

Point of info. Do any kids at Latin or BASIS come from areas IB to Hardy, to Unicorn MS, or to the other two proposed MS's EOTP?   If so, is it possible that continued change at Hardy, and execution of the plan for the new middle schools, will mean slots open up at Latin and BASIS?  [/quote]

It's more likely in the foreseeable future that slots at good charters like Washington Latin will be even harder to get, if it sticks that schools that previously fed to Deal MS are pushed to schools that are perceived as lesser quality.  More students will be seeking berths at Latin as early as grade 5.
