[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shepherd also makes sense to realign because up until recently, that neighborhood was zoned to Coolidge high school. It only got pulled into Wilson via Deal. Instead of adding more students to the already overcrowded schools, makes sense to redirect them back to Coolidge and to MacFarland middle or another middle ("new north"). [/quote]

Then they'd feed to Roosevelt not Coolidge. The new (sensible) policy is to follow elementary to high feeder path.[/quote]

That'd make sense.[/quote]

Right, the elementary-middle-high feeder path does makes sense. The question is why Shepherd shifted from Shepherd-Deal-Coolidge to Shepherd-Deal-Wilson, when Wilson was already overcrowded. Would make more sense to shift to Shepherd-______-Coolidge, so only the middle school shifts. That middle could be MacFarland or the "New North" middle that's planned, or maybe Takoma EC.

Seems like the shift made little sense because it pushed more students into an overcrowded system. Once MacFarland is done, seems the obvious shift should be Shepherd-MacFarland-Roosevelt. [/quote]

Agreed. In fact I believe that was the original plan -- again, once the new Roosevelt is in place.[/quote]
