[quote=Anonymous]we need to get out of the Ward based High schools (and potentially middle schools) The only way a Roosevelt and Coolidge (and maybe Cardozo etc) will work is if there is a selective school within a school--so these can t be looked at as SINGLE schools instead as a system of schools--with charters as a dual track--we need to find ways of moving high SES into DCPS--and not all concentrated at one school--if Coolidge and Roosevelt both exist one needs to be a STEM school and one a Latin school or something--and from there neighborhood kids can be default in the school but 50% is saved as selective--the math just does not work in Ward 4 with 75% of students going to schools OUTSIDE of their neighborhood schools and the abundance of charters in Ward 4.  I think the same should be said of middle schools as feeders (which are not always geographic feeders) Schools need to figure out what will get kids from Ward 1-8 to apply and attend....not be bound by your zip code as your destiny and then have a whole bunch of middle and high SES families opt out to charters or otherwise.[/quote]
