[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure that anyone has a proposal for a fully thought out lottery-based high school system.  However, DCPS is only marginally neighborhood based as is.  There are already application based high schools...

[quote]DCPS has six specialized high schools that admit students based on specific criteria, or eligibility requirements. Anyone can apply to these schools, but only students who meet a specialized high school’s requirements will be eligible to attend that school.

The specialized high schools, all grades 9–12, are:
•Benjamin Banneker High School
•Columbia Heights Education Campus (CHEC) — CHEC serves grades 6–12. Only grades 9–12 are part of the specialized high school.
•Duke Ellington School of the Arts
•McKinley Technology High School
•Phelps Architecture, Construction and Engineering High School
•School Without Walls High School

My understanding is that of the existing neighborhood schools, many have high percentages of OOB students.  Other than some families in bounds for Wilson, is the current neighborhood approach serving many students well?  [/quote]
