[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS already DID deal with it by building out a whole new high school for one of the JR feeders.

Once JR is fully feeding only from Deal (SY28-29), you'll have around 250-320 students per grade (based on last 5 years of data on # of students who move on from Deal to JR). So 1,000 - 1,300 in a facility with capacity for 1,600.

There's no need to exclude OOB students with feeder rights.[/quote]

Well this does not help current families at all so…..

And basically, Hardy families got screwed over having to go to MA which is a nightmare to get to and limited in academic, EC, and sports offerings.

If they did not do OOB feeder rights, JR could accommodate all IB ward 3 families.

But we know that the priority of DCPS was not ward 3 families.  It is to get more OOB families in ward 3 schools.[/quote]

It does help current families. This year the freshman class is smaller. Next year the freshman and sophomore class will be smaller. Etc.

Proposing to immediately change feeder rights across DCPS to fix a short-term problem at a single school is ridiculous. JR overcrowding is a long-standing problem that current families should have been aware of long before their students matriculated.[/quote]
