[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Forgot to add that Hardy families have had years of notice and grandfathering before students lost feeder rights to JR. But yes, sure, let's tell OOB families with students currently at JR that they need to find a new HS.[/quote]

No one is saying to kick the OOB students out of JR.  What people are saying is to end feeder rights at over crowded schools once the kids reach the terminal grade at their current school.

Yes this has been a long standing issue that families have raised again and again and that the solution would be to end feeder school rights.  But of course OSSE and DCPS could care less and do nothing.

Families are not to blame.  It is the messed up system and DCPS.  No wonder so many families who have options are leaving DCPS altogether.  BTW the new science and ELA curriculum isn’t helping either with the race to the bottom.

I don't think it's that DCPS could care less, it's that they don't think JR being overcrowded is more of a problem than cutting out OOB students from the school would be. [/quote]

They literally already addressed the problem at JR by creating a brand new high school for one of the two feeder middle schools. I really don't understand what you are all going on about.[/quote]

Opening MacArthur was a band-aid on the JR overcrowding problem. It’s not going to permanently solve the issue. If you’re so ignorant of this fact you probably should be sitting this conversation out.[/quote]

SY19-20: 316 students from Deal to JR
SY20-21: 311 students from Deal to JR
SY21-22: 289 students from Deal to JR
SY22-23: 259 students from Deal to JR
SY23-24: 257 students from Deal to JR

So once Deal is the only feeder there will be around 1,000 - 1,300 students in a facility with capacity for 1,600. And probably on the lower end of that estimate based on more recent trends.[/quote]
