[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Cardozo is any indication, people are hesitant to send their 11 year old 6th graders to a school that's shared with 19 year old high school seniors.  I'm not sure if that's the model that will work at Coolidge.  [/quote]

I'm IB for Cardozo and have to admit I'd be pretty leery of this myself, but if the building was set up smartly and start/finish times were effectively staggered it could work.[/quote]

If DCPS is having this debate, that is definitely a reason to postpone renovation until it gets worked out--it makes no sense to start the renovation and get locked in to a completely 9-12 model if what the community wants/needs is a small 6-8 and a small 9-12 separated but under one roof.  I like the idea of making Coolidge both the New North MS and a HS if they can be really separate.

But I'd also be ok with combining Coolidge and Roosevelt for a couple years, and starting Coolidge's renovation in FY 2018.[/quote]

FWIW DCPS is NOT on board with a combined middle / high school for Coolidge. While there isn't a design, their plans so far are for a renovated, big, comprehensive high school. [/quote]
