PP here. Didn't mean to jump the gun. The few IB families who don't want the bilingual program at Reed (that was a surprise) might be able to transfer to Hyde if they have proximity. It wouldn't be a tsunami of out of boundary. Reed seems pretty far from West End/Dupont.

There is a bilingual and an English only track at Reed. Elementary students are to go to Reed and Middle schoolers will go to HArdy

Francis goes to Marie Reed.

Where do the schools who were feeder schools to Shaw @ Garnett-Patterson end up sending kids to middle school, I wonder.

Cardozo they are goign to be switched to a 6th-12th campus.

Francis-Stevens has 200 kids in PS to 8 with 24% in boundary. It will feed to Hyde-Addison. Ross will take over Garrison space.

Where are you getting your info? I saw in a press release that FS would feed to Marie Reed and Hardy.

Where did you see / hear this about Ross?

There are only about 100 students at MacFarland.

They are going to Hardy.

The Examiner article says MacFarland is going to Roosevelt.

Which feeds into Deal. It's a win win I guess.

No Deal and Hardy are both middle schools so one cannot act as a feeder to the other. They both feed into Wilson.

This should be great news for Ross. Although I it's not stated in the report, it would make since for the school to now feed into Hardy. Feeding into Shaw was holding it back.

Amidon-Bowen dodged a bullet. I was sure they would close. I think the only reason they didn't is there isn't another elementary school close by (the Hill schools don't have that much space, Van Ness isn't opening any time soon, and Thompson is pretty far away).

The "baby boom" kids aren't 5 years old yet. How many age 0-4 kids are about to hit the system I wonder?

No the ES grades will go to Marie Reed. But why don't you take a minute to actually look at the information: http://www.scribd.com/doc/113130662/School-Closures
