[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, the exodus people . . . I wash my hands of you, mostly because I don't believe you're acting in good faith or realistically reporting your intentions.

However, as much as I might disagree with tracking, if something like advanced classes at Whittier and MacFarland and Coolidge and Roosevelt (like at Stuart Hobson or other examples) is what would make people happy to send a kid who doesn't want a giant school from Lafayette or Shepherd to a secondary school in Ward 4, it's not that bad.

I think the transition to integrated Ward 4 and Ward 1 schools with students from top to bottom in ability is going to happen; the question is whether we accelerate that integration or not.

Other alternatives out there I could see - if DCPCS made a concerted effort to put a facility in play that would relieve population pressure on Deal/Wilson (e.g., buy out that Tenley container store building and put in a BASIS Secondary campus or something similar), DCPS might try to be them to it. DCI could massively expand up at Walter Reed. DCPS could add a new selective school that would undermine Roosevelt or CHEC or something.

But I still see a growth in the just-East-of-the-Park feeders as the most likely scenario change now. Perhaps even faster than integration at Eastern HS.[/quote]
