[quote=Anonymous]At least in the last round of school closures, DCPS practice was to assign all kids from the closed school to the most under-enrolled nearby school. Unsurprisingly, the most under-enrolled schools happen to be the least desireable & have the lowest test scores. No attempt was made to consider individual addresses' closeness to the receiving school--the entire in-bounds area was assigned to the worst remaining school, even though in many cases better schools are much closer. If experience is any guide, DCPS & elected officials may say that kids from the closed school could be assigned to a better/nicer school (in this case, Eastern over Woodson), or that some students will be able to go to whichever school is closer to their home. But this will not, in fact, happen.[/quote]
