[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When they start forcing in bounds Janney kids to go to other schools. That'll be the day in DC.[/quote]

What other schools, pray tell? Are there any schools even remotely close to that neighborhood that have room to spare?[/quote]

I know kids who got into Key OOB recently.[/quote]

Key taking more OOB kids is absurd. They already have TWO HOLE GRADES in trailers![/quote]

I thought that one reason for the John Eaton renovation and expansion is that DCPS wants to guarantee a minimum percentage of OOB students there, like at least 30 %.  As the OOB percentage continues to fall in Ward 3 schools, at least one school needs to be designated and designed to help Ward 3 do its part for equity and inclusion.  This would appear to be Eaton's role.[/quote]

It's a good idea to designate Eaton as the Ward 3 school that still contributes substantial spots for OOB.[/quote]

Hyde-Addison has a even more OOB. It's in Ward 2, but it feeds to Hardy-Wilson. Culturally, it fits better with Ward 3 than the other schools in Ward 2 (eg Shaw).

There are still a number of pathways for OOB kids to get into Wilson via feeders. Even Key has spots open up after kindergarten when the wealthy tykes decamp for private schools. If you have solid transportation and dedicated parents, the OOB spots are there. But they are getting harder to come by as more and more Ward 2 and 3 parents opt for DCPS. [/quote]
