.... As long as both DCPS and DC charter shun competitive selective admissions, the grave middle school feeder problems on the Hill will simply generate more serious high school feeder problems.  For some of us, high school isn't all that far away and privates are too expensive.  SWW is small and isn't all that great, leading to lackluster college admissions results by the standards of many upper-middle-class families with young kids currently in DCPS.  And Banneker, where average SAT scores are no better than the national average, doesn't seem interested in attracting non-AA or upper-middle-class families.

Where are Hill kids in DCPS supposed to go to high school in 5 or 10 years?  Rockville?  McClean?

Wilson -- except there probably won't be room for them.  Do keep in mind, though, that the high SES kids at Wilson (many of whom are IB) do just as well as their counterparts in private schools and get into the same excellent colleges.[/quote]

Obviously you don't mean the "Wilson" that just scored 60% proficient right?  You mean the Academies at Wilson?  How are students selected for that program?  Is that a lottery?  [/quote]
