[quote=Anonymous]There are only about 4500 8th graders in public school in DC, per https://osse.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/osse/publication/attachments/2016-17%20School%20Year%20Enrollment%20Audit%20Report_0.pdf SWW, Ellington, and Banneker each have about 150 9th graders and Wilson has 450. That's space for 20% of them right there. Add in Eastern's IB program and the kids who aren't going to leave their local school for anything (like Cato June, who got into Banneker but really wanted to play football for Anacostia) and I'm not sure DCPS feels like there's a lot of kids with 3.0+ GPAs who they don't have room to serve. They'd rather get some of the kids with 2.8s who are well behaved into a place where everyone has at least some motivation. [/quote]
