[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]

I read the article today. I admit I have no idea how to run a school and what to do to improve it. but the solution proposed, making Dunbar an application only school able to select its students, does not sound really a solution to me. it does not make Dunbar a great school for the students who are there (and are clearly struggling). it simply kicks out the students and open the building to good students. this way, I can turn around any school in a day, kick the student out, bring WWS/Basis students in and voila', great school in a day[/quote]
