[quote=sondreal][quote=Anonymous]There is no upside to SWW HS in this merger - even DCPS can't  list one. 
Whole idea seemed to be DCPS hoping the SWW name would drive enrollment up at FS. And that doesn't seem to be working out too well either.
And to poster 18:42- based on my experience, DCPS does not think through anything.[/quote]

Here's an explanation from the Mayor's education speech last week.  Better late then never?  At least it shows some level of investment:

"We have a number of schools and programs that serve small groups of students well. But not enough. Our first strategy is to replicate, or scale up, the schools and programs in both sectors that have unlocked the secrets to success and are eager to reach more children.

In an effort to scale up success, DCPS is extending the reach of a number of its highest-performing and most-sought-after programs.  McKinley Tech and School Without Walls will be linked to programs that serve elementary and middle school students, so hundreds of younger students can benefit from the strengths of these two high schools.   DCPS is also expanding Banneker High School, School Within School, and Capitol Hill Montessori to allow more students across all grade levels to benefit from these highly successful programs."
