[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Miner Elementary would be a good school school to turn into a world language school with dual language programs but not immersion in addition to possibly STEM program and its traditional education program. Miner seems to be a large school that needs its own niche or branding.[/quote]

One niche it's going to get is an infant-toddler care center on premises. That will probably bring in more families of younger kids, some of whom will stay.

I'm not thrilled with DCPS doing dual-language at boundaried schools in general and imagine it could make it harder for the school to hire if they need people who are bilingual in different languages.

It would be cool for a school to offer ASL as a special and Miner is fairly close to Gallaudet so that could work. They could also be the permanent host for DCPS self-contained classrooms for deaf and hard of hearing students. [/quote]

ASL as a special for Miner is a very thoughtful idea, along with self-contained classrooms for significantly hearing impaired children.

To another PP who wants to cluster Brent and Tyler; I can imagine that some (fragile) Brent families would be horrified to be IB with children from Potomac Gardens. They seem to prize how exclusively high SES their school is.[/quote]
