[quote=Anonymous][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] Township models are only better when the community is wealthy and can pay high taxes. Look at Fairfield County CT...Fabulous town based schools unless you live in Bridgeport which is high poverty low tax base. [/quote]
