[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're an idiot. Nobody wants a high school bottleneck in the western part of the city.

It's simple, really: many people can clearly foresee a looming overcrowding issue at Wilson. You have several choices: 
1. Remove some feeder schools
2. Build greater capacity at Wilson
3. Create a new school.

If choosing 1., which feeder schools? Proponents of 3. realize that it may not be reasonable to remove east of the park feeder schools.

So, tell me again why I want?!? a bottleneck in my neighborhood. Or, stop denying the reality of the situation and tell me what you'd do. [/quote]

NP -- I'd do #3 -- a new school, but outside of ward 3, e.g. the revitalized Roosevelt idea.[/quote]

Thank you. Who would go to the new school? That is, how would this solution ease overcrowding at Wilson? Which feeders are you removing. (That's the hard question, so don't hide from it.) [/quote]

Not the PP (but the one you called an idiot).

If you're talking about removing feeders from Wilson, those would stay as is. Deal and Hardy feed to Wilson.  The hard part is changing the feeders to Deal.

In the case of Roosevelt high school, DCPS would need to do away with the PS-8 education campuses, currently the only middle school option for Ward 4 families.  The alternative would be a re-opened MacFarland Middle School, which was closed last year for under-utilization.  If more families stay at nearby elementary schools and those feed into a new MacFarland Middle School, then the new (already being renovated) Roosevelt would fill up and take pressure off of Wilson.

Repeat for Cardozo and Dunbar.[/quote]
