[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]

Are you the same person who said I was hiding hidden vitriol???

Here's a fourth choice, and the one I would choose:

4. Make one or more of the under-utilized high schools that currently exist EOTP into desirable schools.  Each of Cardozo, Dunbar and Roosevelt has or is undergoing a renovation.  Each of them is in a much better position to ease overcrowding at Wilson.[/quote]

But they problem with #4 making them desirable... they are so far from that for parents with high performing kids, and parents with high performing kids who are mobile will just move when high school comes around, or go private. But high performing kids are needed to make the school desirable!

So #3 of starting a new school seems to reduce the concern, at least for the first few years that there are poor student outcome, and may attract parents with high performing kids to try it out.

#5 The Francis Stephens campus is the size of a high school.  I say turn it into a medium size high school, the select magnet high school and the principle can go anywhere,  and the middle and elementary schools can go somewhere else in the boundary, emm not sure where exactly, which is the main problem with #5 but I am sure someone can think of something. And Duke Ellington gets left alone. [/quote]
