[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great, please tell us how that would work. Give us a rough idea of where the City should be drawing these new school boundaries.

As was pointed out pages ago, the several DCPS elementary schools in the catchment areas bordering Brent's are also getting crowded.

As far as I can tell, as the Cap Hill baby boom fails to abate, DCPS needs to do the following, or some combo of the following...

open one or two new Ward 6 elementary schools
pony up to expand existing crowded facilities substantially
cynically let conditions in the most crowded schools deteriorate to the point that fewer parents enroll[/quote]

is tyler over-crowded?[/quote]

Tyler has the highest enrollment of Hill schools in one building, I believe. 525. The capacity is about 540 max, I think.[/quote]

that doesn't make it over enrolled. in the last facility analysis (2016) it rated as 91% ? 96% utilized (4 of 5 in rubric).[/quote]

I didn't say it was over enrolled, only that it's enrollment is close to what its capacity is so little room for expansion.[/quote]
