The future Dorothy Hamm zoned families did NOT want to send their kids to the Rosslyn site. Nobody wanted the Rosslyn site.

HB got sent there, and got a fancy building for its troubles.

Dorothy Hamm got an addition that added 300 seats for $40 million - bringing capacity to 1000 students. Then the school board approved a Dorothy Hamm boundary that would ensure they would never fill the school to capacity.

HB got bigger with the move, and added 775 seats (counting the Shriver program in the same building) for $100 million...which was actually a little cheaper, per-seat-added, than the simultaneous Hamm addition.

Spouting uninformed nonsense as usual!

What in my post was incorrect? I had facts and numbers and you throw insults.

I'm done trying to provide you with accurate info. Stay ignorant.

Uh new poster and the persons statements are accurate. Say what is incorrrct.

Nope, I'm done engaging with know it all conspiracy theorists who don't need info about a school their kids don't attend.

Ah, so you probably know even more siblings, and you keep claiming you are done engaging rather than actual facts.

I do! Tons. Not limited to siblings either. Everyone who gets in to Woodlawn makes huge campaign contributions to all Arlington county school board members. We weren’t sure that was enough though because that’s what everyone does. So we loaned out our vacation home to some top officials and flew them there on our private jet too. Plus I had my congressman put in a good word. I got my 4 kids in that way. Congratulations on figuring it out. You cracked the code.

So you continue spouting nonsense rather than have a discussion.

agree. I didn't have to fly them anywhere. Just cash pass when shaking hands during office house. Easy Peasy.

On this website, some people say it’s like a private school that’s so good people pull strings to get their kids in. Others say it’s dumbed down and doesn’t have difficult classes. Still no clue what it’s all about.

Exactly. They are all right. Or, they are all wrong and unnaturally angry their kids didn't get in or an HB kid got into UVA and their snowflake didn't. Also, all these people don't have kids in the school.
