I presume you have your children at Leckie?  [/quote]

I would if I lived in the zone for the school.  If everyone who lived on base actually used the school and concentrated their energy in that one place instead of spreading around the city, it would be one of the best schools in the district.

Why would you want to bus your child all three way across town if you could make your neighborhood school great?  [/quote]

Can I ask what school your children go to and what school you are trying to make great? And do you have this response to every family here that tries for the lottery? [/quote]

The reason it would be feasible for Leckie is the military families.  There is enough socioeconomic diversity to make it successful.  And military spouses are pushy enough ( in a positive way) to advocate for their children and make changes if they wanted to.  I'm not trying to make you feel bad or knock your choices, but I would not want my child bused across town for school, especially for elementary.  I just think it's a waste of organizational talent and so much more work to spread your efforts amongst the city when you could have a viable option right outside the gates.  I could be wrong though.

Bravo to you for trying it out and I hope you find a school that works better for you.[/quote]
