[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can DCPS get to an analysis of demand for a middle school or high school over there that DOES NOT require demand from DC that isn't RESIDENT inside the Wilson feeder pattern?

I'd appreciate an analysis of demand for schools that would only include in-boundary students. Without that, it's hard to support another secondary school set west of Rock Creek Park.[/quote]

I don't understand the agenda of your question.
Why is it hard to support another MS or HS WOTP taking into account demand from IB and OOB families? 
We've established that allowing some OOB students is the only way to have some socioeconomic diversity in DCPS. Such limited socioeconomic diversity is an absolute ethical requirement in any school district. It is also, practically, a great buffer for WOTP ES to maintain consistent numbers of classes per grade and consistent staffing, even as IB enrollment waxes and wanes.

Unless and until DCPS find a way to attract a few WOTP zero-stimulus receiving families to schools EOTP and EOTR, they will have to account for a few EOTP and EOTR stimulus-families in their WOTP school planning.[/quote]
