[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]True but next year new montessori middle and second latin will open. Some new blood.

[b]Also pretty soon it won’t just but the Hill, Shaw and Bloomingdale and Brookland and noma will start having to face this [/b]....[/quote]

This is a very good point.  The Hill is simply further along in the gentrification process than a number of other big neighborhoods even as Mayor Bowser and DCPS leaders fail to take the expanding neighborhood MS quality crisis head on. There are don't seem to be any practical or ambitious plans to address the problem in the works.  No, it's more of the same, lecturing UMC parents who avoid failing middle schools on how racist and elitist they are, or simply ignoring their concerns.[/quote]

Yes, worried about this re: Shaw. So much great progress in the feeder elementary schools, all feeding into one of the worst middle schools in DC. I know there is a parent group working on Shaw@Banneker for Middle School, but unclear how that is progressing or if it will be successful. [/quote]

Is the Shaw@Banneker group trying to improve the offerings at the MS at Cardozo, or is the focus making a separate MS (not to derail, I know this is a whole thing, but if there is a group of parents working to improve a MS in Shaw, it would be worth keeping an eye on)[/quote]
