BASIS is NOT ward 2.

Washington Latin did a major renovation, has fields, space that is tailored for students who are in Middle and High School.

Latin has been quietly investigating a satellite middle school campus. They are finding their retention rate from middle to high is not enough to fill the high school. They need more middle schoolers because they don't really accept new students for high school..

What are you talking about ?????
The 8th grade and 9th grade waiting lists were in the 200's these past two years.

I know several families who tried to get in for high school, at no avail ...

Our situation exactly.

These are the numbers I got from Mary Cheh's office:

Percent in Ward 3
Deal MS 37%
Eaton ES 32%
Hearst ES 21%
Janney ES 89%
Key ES 93%
Mann ES 94%
Murch ES 77%
Oyster-Adams BS 26%
Stoddert ES 66%
Wilson HS 21%

Wow. You can really see the correlation with elementary school performance.

I had no idea it was so low for Deal. For Wilson, I guess since the boundary used to be the entire city that actually makes sense.

Deal's boundary is not just Ward 3.

Indeed. In fact, several Ward 3 neighborhoods were shut out of Deal despite being closer to it than some Deal feeder areas east of Rock Creek.

Lafayette is in ward 4 as well.

Technically. Residents west of the Park (Lafayette district) are still pissed off from when their area was moved from Ward 3 to Ward 4 and hope that a future redistricting will move it back. They feel that the Ward 4 councilmember, who always seems to come from east of the Park, doesn't care about or fully understand the issues WOTP.

Latin Parent here:
I saw that someone questioned the High School rate the students that have left most went to attend boarding schools or Banneker not very often they leave to attend any other charter or Dc Public

Also, feeder rights.

Part of the Murcb boundary is in Ward 4.
