[quote=Anonymous]Hello...another West parent here...I have two kids at West (a rising 3rd grader and a rising 1st grader) and have been at West for 5 years now.  In those past 5 years, the school has continued to improve, both academically and culturally, and my family and I are very invested in continuing to work to make it a thriving neighborhood school.  I am also very involved in the Ward 4 Education Alliance, http://ward4ed.org/, and would encourage you to attend the next meeting or engage in the discussion via email or the website.  There are a lot of people out there like you and me who are tentatively willing to imagine an alternative other than Deal and Wilson for our children and because of this I am very hopeful that a new middle school at MacFarland and quality programming at a brand new Roosevelt is a possibility.  I'm tired of playing the lottery game (or thinking about playing it, since I haven't needed to for the past 5 years) and would love to have a neighborhood school option through high school.

I would also be happy to talk with you, or anyone else considering West offline.  We are also planning some get togethers this summer for perspective families to meet West parents and learn more about the school, so keep an eye out on your neighborhood listserves.  Thanks for posing the question and being willing to consider your local DCPS...we need a lot more people like you to continue our successes!
