[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school also needs to have a frank discussion about diversity and finding ways to open spots up for OOB students beyond NCLB placements. Whether that is even possible with 14 rising four-year olds and 48-50 rising kindergarteners will have to sorted out in the short term. [/quote] I agree that the limited diversity in the lower grades is, in some ways, unfortunate, but I don't agree that opening up spots for OOB students is the answer. The lack of OOB spots means that neighbors have confidence in the school which is definitely a good thing. DCPS operates neighborhood schools and having a school full of neighborhood kids seems like a success. It's more unfortunate that neighborhoods lack diversity. Also, OOB students don't necessarily add diversity. A good portion of the OOB students in the lower grades are from other parts of the hill or SW and don't add SES or racial diversity. This is different in the upper grades.[/quote]
