[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The boundary review is coming in just a couple of years. New  Hill ES boundaries are certainly going to be a focus as will the Wilson feeders.

Brent isn't going to get a renovation prior to that process. [/quote]

Greater Greater Washington had a good story about this a few weeks ago. The boundary review is not going to fix over crowding in this city. [/quote]

Is there a link to this article?[/quote]

I believe there was a thread about this when the story came out that the author was a part of. Long story short to even out the demand, neighborhoods would have to be put in districts away from their closest schools. Like much of Capitol Hill being assigned east of the river, while NW but east of the park neighborhoods would be assigned to the Capitol Hill schools. Not very likely.

I'm not sure how this all works out but the city needs to recognize that more families are staying and start planning for it. But I'm sure they won't.[/quote]

Except even if families stay/population grows, there is still far more DCPS capacity than can be utilized. See DME memo to the PCSB urging co-location as a solution to both sectors' problems (lack of charter facilities and surplus of DCPS facilities) https://dme.dc.gov/node/1404506[/quote]

You ought to read the GGW article, PP. Trouble is, the population is not predicted to be where the empty seats are. [/quote]

I have. And I think everyone agrees that the empty seats are not where much of the growth is happening. But TBH everyone has is batting around competing numbers and projections and analysis- GGW, the DME, the PCSB, the DC Office of Planning ... And they all have their own institutional biases and agendas.

The point is, the city isn't going to be able to re-district themselves out of over crowding WOTP and on the Hill. [/quote]

Tell that to Eaton parents. [/quote]
Give it a rest, Eaton parent. Sorry you were the token sacrifice by having to go to Hardy, which is highly sought after by high SES parents on our side of the park. You still wind up at Wilson, contributing to the crowding there. [/quote]
