Which neighborhood?
Palisades
Palisades has never had a significant # of kids going to Hardy & then Wilson. Key is the last adopter of the Hardy schools currently - all of the other schools in the pattern have had a huge uptick - but remember this is a school where parents were petitioning to keep a principal who swept and ineptly dealt with a major racist incident this year. So it's not really part of this equation. Overall the Wilson feeder network is WAY overcrowded - hence all the overcrowding Ward 3 network committees. There's trailers at Deal, Hardy is expanding to accommodate students and Wilson keeps growing and having fewer and fewer spaces for OOB kids. DCUM is often in fantasy land...
Wait, was there really s petition? I didn't see it. I keep checking the new principals thread, a bit in disbelief that the Key principal isn't out.

Why wait? None of the residents will be coming for the schools, given that the pyramid is now crap, because of Wilson. QED.

You sound quite gleeful. Greater Washington, perhaps?
Just trying to get clarity.
Is the Deal zone still desirable for families with kids, or not?
98% of parents in DC would tell you that the entire Wilson feeder pattern is desirable for families with kids.
I think a tiny minority on DCUM are saying they will avoid Wilson when the time comes. Who knows what they will actually do.
That, or someone who works for the developer lobby is trying to create the impression that some people will avoid Wilson. I think the odds are close to zero that any parent who is talking about avoiding Wilson today would have considered sending their kids there the in the years before "Honors for All" was being implemented.
According to my kid, there has been a really significant change in the environment of the school due to:
1. Under-the-radar efforts to get rid of kids with serious discipline issues (not sure how, but my kid knows of many kids with a history of fights or drug sales who were at Wilson and were suddenly gone after the rash of overdoses in, I think, 2017).
2. The changing demographic makeup of the student body with more in boundary kids, a change that my kid laments but many parents who are afraid of a diverse school probably welcome.
