[quote=Anonymous]The frustrating part about this process for me is that it seems to have revealed that DCPS doesn’t care about academic excellence.
You create programs for the top 10% of students not because your kid will necessarily BE one of those kids, but because a good way to bring the whole school up is to attract and retain very smart kids.  Those kids help attract good teachers and attract aspirational families to move inbounds.

If the city can’t create a good middle school option for Seaton and Garrison that has programs for all kids including the top students, DCPS will lose the opportunity to build an amazing school program in Shaw.  They have at the elementary level the principals, the buildings, and enough families for positive momentum.  If they don’t create a good middle school they’re just lighting on fire all that elementary school potential.  Would be a huge missed opportunity.

(Note I think Banneker is a huge success story and needs to be considered strongly in any Shaw MS plan.)[/quote]
