[quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't the whole system be stronger if all Middle School opportunities started at 6th grade? Students finished 5th in their elementary school (be it charter or DCPS), and then lotteried in rank order for preferred 6th grade placement, intermingling charter & DCPS None of the DCPS schools were "education campuses" from preS to 8, instead all ended at 5th grade. Then, there would also be students available to support an additional Ward 4 / Ward 5 DCPS middle school (the new building at Brookland, maybe a reopened Ward 4 MacFarland). And to fill the underpopulated Middle schools at McKinley Tech, Eliot-Hine, Jefferson. What's wrong with this suggestions, what's right with it? [/quote]
