[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If each public school had an academically talented program, (Think School within a School) couldn't it raise the profile of other neighborhood schools (Roosevelt, Cardozo, Dunbar, Coolidge, Eastern)[/quote] There aren't enough high-performing kids to have the math work out-- the averages wouldn't go up by much, the programs would be too small to have an appealing offering, and it would be really costly to operate because the programs would be small. And if it did happen, the racial disparities would be so painfully obvious, it just isn't doable. I think nothing gets better until they make a massive investment into middle school and remediation.[/quote] Dunbar has a Pre-Engineering program and also Eastern has an IB program. [/quote]
