[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It wouldn't be a draw for my family either ( np here). It's too far away from us and in the wrong general direction of ~12th and Penn.

Now. Putting it in -Hardy-  That is a fine idea.  Seriously, wouldn't it make the most sense to locate the accelerated program where the huge majority of the accelerated students live, according to every test that's ever been administered? (NAEP, DC CAS and so on?)[/quote]

Reasons not to put it in Hardy:

1. what would happen to the middle school that is already there? Isn't it fairly full? Where would Hardy-feeder school students matriculate to? 
2. Hardy is not centrally located so not a great area for a city-wide application school. 
3. McKinley has loads of space available and it is already a STEM-focused school.

that said, the reason I don't like seeing it co-located in McKinley is because I don't like the idea of the middle schoolers and high schoolers going to school together.  If DCPS can show me how that would work, I might be interested.[/quote]
