[quote=Anonymous]I thought that Henderson had floated the idea of making all the high schools lotteried. I have less issue with that idea, as HS kids can shuttle themselves around. The HSs would also have the opportunity to specialize to attract specific populations of students to a greater extent than they do now. I'm not very familiar with DC high schools, but Ellington has arts, McKinley has some technology focus, etc. Of course, in DC, the differences between the schools (or really Wilson and the other non-specialized DC HS) is much greater than simply course offerings. I would be completely against removing neighborhood elementary schools. My kids attend their neighborhood DCPS and I love that the school is nearby, we can organize playdates in the local parks, they see their friends throughout the neighborhood, and most importantly, I feel like I am also part of the greater school community in a way that wouldn't be possible if it weren't a neighborhood school.[/quote]
