[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]KIPP schools east of the river are some of the best options for families in ward 7 and 8. They have waitlists of hundreds of kids who want a seat. We need more great high schools and Ferebee is just sitting empty. Right now KIPP kids have to travel sometimes for hours to get to their current high school at union market. Having a ward 8 kipp high school would be great for kids and families. I’m unsure why there would be anything other than overwhelming support for this. 
Also Kipp’s current high school is one of the only strong non-selective high school options in DC. Replicating the great stuff they’re doing so more kids have access to their curriculum and model is a win for everyone. 
Why would anyone be outraged about more good school options? [/quote]

Because we should be fixing the schools that we already have, rather than undermining them with new openings.  Because it is a waste of money to operate so many half-empty schools.  Because EOTR is already getting Bard and Latin II.  [/quote]

Do you live EOTR? Have you enrolled your child in a comprehensive high school that isn't Wilson?

My children are too young, sorry.  I just don't see how enrollment projections support three new high schools.  I am all for quality EOTR but how is Latin and Bard together not enough to meet the need?[/quote]
