I like this idea and sending Bancroft kids to McFarland.

Bancroft and Oyster. Let Oyster-Adams be PK3 to 5 and more neighborhood families will get in for PK (giving them 2 more years of immersion) plus more spots for Spanish-dominant families in a high-performing school.

Is this the same dumb poster who keeps posting this dumb idea on every school thread and is apparently unaware that Oyster ADAMS includes Adams Middle School, a high performing bilingual middle school? Look, I get that you think this is a great idea, but it will never ever happen, and constantly repeating it is really annoying.

I'm aware that Oyster-Adams includes a middle school. I just don't think it should. Similarly, I think Francis-Stevens should be PK3-5 and get its own principal rather than sharing with SWW.

Shepherd gives 30 students a year. How does this help overcrowding??? Bus Janney or Murch

Pulling 90 students out of Deal and 120 out of Wilson obviously helps overcrowding. When redistricting it makes sense to reduce travel times and distances as much as possible; sending Shepherd to Wilson and Janney to Coolidge would not help with that.

I think everyone must suffer and worry about housing value and school performance, all HS should be lottery. It is the only fair and equitable solution. For all who chime in about white flight, it doesn’t matter.

Such a plan was a complete and utter failure in San Francisco and they are killing it off:

DP. That was all schools, not HS only. It makes sense to have a ranking system. Especially with the new college HS options.

This is a stupid idea. Lottery makes no sense when there is one viable HS in DC. No parents are willing to mess with HS education. The stakes are too high. There is also no bus system in DC. You cannot force a student from AU Park to go to Anacostia HS without providing transportation when there is a HS 5min walk from where the student lives.

It would get sorted out. Likely an AU Park student would not go to Anacostia. They could go to Roosevelt, Coolidge or Wilson. I’m not sure why AU parents are so quick to inflict pain on others when you are so unwilling to shoulder pain yourself?! There are many students at Wilson who shoulder the burden of a commute and you get to should the pain of a crowded school. It’s a shared burden! Stop whining.

Yes, because this has worked so well in other places. Where are those places, PP?
