[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm reading about the efforts of DCPS to develop academic programming and other elements to attract students from the overcrowded Wilson feeder network to other DCPS schools.  It sounds like DCPS has been entirely unsuccessful in these efforts so far.  So that leads to a question for the parents of OOB students who are in the Wilson/Deal feeder network.  What factors cause you to reject your neighborhood schools and instead go OOB?  When you made the decision to apply OOB in the lottery, what was wrong with your neighborhood schools?

Maybe these answers will help show DCPS what it needs to do to make schools in other neighborhoods more attractive, or at least good enough that people won't reject them.  What were your reasons?  What thought process did you go through in choosing?

The notes I read said that DCPS's experience is that families don't follow programming -- that approach has been tried and failed.

But I want my children to be in a school with mostly high-performing peers, as gauged by test scores, and am willing to travel for that.[/quote]
