[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS could use the Whittle Space for a real high school (that private school won’t last another year). Right on public transit and more central. Could have STEM focus. Mini high school in out of way neighborhood seems to help no one.[/quote] The new high school would have the benefit of poaching some of Wilson's boundaries, which would reduce Wilson's overcrowding by quite a bit -- AND have the benefit of allowing more space for students east of the park. Ultimately, DCPS's main interest with Wilson has always been preserving access for students who don't live around Tenleytown, so building a new high school would meet that interest. Similarly, a new high school in Ward 2 with boundaries stretching to The Wharf would help bring in students who would satisfy the "diversity" checkbox at the new school. In sum, the new school would satisfy DCPS's interest in "equity," in two directions.[/quote]
