[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] That’s OPs point: huge county level public school districts are highly ineffective and worse. Township model is better. 500 sq miles 220 schools 160,000 students 600-800 students per MS and HS grade Biggest employer in the county 5 weather zones Takes 90 minutes to drive across in rush hour DCPS is the real turnaround story since 2004. charter school success, NW DC schools kicking @$$ academically and athletically, free PK for all for decades, [b]everyone walks to school[/b], strong Pk-8 curriculum, great ECs in ES. Only downside is the $2k per kid pta fees for non title 1 schools since DC doesn’t give those schools much of the kitty. [/quote] "Everyone walks to school." https://ggwash.org/view/67015/school-choice-means-some-students-wale-early-for-a-trek-across-the-city[/quote] No bussing so walk or car pool. Same thing if you do charter school. Or subway for age 12+, School without Walls, etc.[/quote]
