[b]Hyde-Addison has a even more OOB.[/b] 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]
You understand why Hyde currently has more OOB - right?  In case you are not aware, when the school moved to the swing space families pulled their kids from Hyde and went private or there was a bunch of them that someone how wound up at Janney.

Holy Trinity had RECORD applications for all grades the year that Hyde moved.  Other families helped form a micro school.   Because so many families decided that their snowflakes would not travel to Shaw, it opened up spots in the lottery.   I  would expect that now that they are back at the new school and there are the new boundaries that % OOB at Hyde will decrease each year until it has a profile similar to other schools near by.[/quote]
