[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m confused by all of the CH and other folks outside of Ward 3 who say they are inclined to send their children to McArthur in the next few years.  Do they believe that McArthur will not be filled with in-boundary students and thus will have seats to fill in the lottery with out-of-boundary enrollment?  Or am I missing something?[/quote]

Many families are OOB via elementary Deal and Hardy feeders. Not confusing at all. [/quote]

Yes, I understand that for next school year (2023-2024), when not all seats at the new, untested McArthur are filled by in-boundary students.  I’m asking about future years!  Folks on this thread from Cap Hill (and other non-boundary neighborhoods) make it seem like they are already planning to get an OOB seat at McArthur in future years.  I wonder why they seem to think there will be any OOB lottery seats available for any year following the next.[/quote]

They are just desperate.  You are correct that there will likely not be OOB seats in a few years if things does go well for school.  Will have to wait and see.

Honestly, all OSSE and DCPCSB projections are a massive fall-off in junior high enrollments in the next few years because there is a decline in fertility and people have left DC b/c remote work. Kids who are young elementary now will be able to go anywhere for high school. [/quote]

I'm not sure that enrollment at the Hardy feeders backs up that assertion.[/quote]

Nor the enrollment at Deal feeders. I would love to actually see these OSSE/DCPCSB "projections," though I'm guess they're figments of PP's imagination.[/quote]
