[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This isn't idiotic at all; in fact it's about as close to a scientific experiment as you could get.

If, as many, many, many PPs in this thread have asserted, Ward 5 has a core mass of involved, smart parents, then there is a guaranteed critical mass of enriched, supported Ward 5 sixth graders who could re-create a Deal IN Ward 5, possibly to be located in Truxton Circle, Fort Totten or Brentwood.

Thanks for this, but I don't we are really interested in being being part of some grand experiment. Most of the Ward 5 posters on here have agreed that simply building a new middle school won't be enough. It will need to be very attractive enough to pull the middle class kids from the various other places they're going, including the many charter schools that will run through 8. Some sort of magnet school or special approach would be necessary.

Also, it's much more likely to be successful if a strong foundation of middle class Ward 5 kids attending public ELEMENTARY school is built first.

The location that people are eyeing for a new Ward 5 middle school is the [b]old Brookland elementary campus, near Turkey Thicket. [/b]

Is this metro accessible?  Why does everything have to be in Brookland.[/quote]
