[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I get what you're saying but I think this proposal for Dunbar is a great idea no matter where it came from. However, I also understand that this proposal brings front in center the vexing challenge of schools in DC. With a rapidly changing demographic how can DCPS best serve all - the most challenging students and the high performers? It certainly would address the desire that I read on this board (over and over again) for a test-in high school. [/quote] DC has several test-in HS's that still have room. Sending Dunbar's low-performers elsewhere isn't the solution. Ending social promotion is one way to improve Dunbar outcomes, though that'll take time to work through the system. Fortunately DC has another 8-10 years before it sees significant growth in it's number of HS students. Until then, all the growth will be in ES and MS.[/quote]
