This school would be only for the advanced students, though.  So how many is that?[/quote]

You are making an assumption that DCPS would limit it to students who scored 5s. I am not so sure (Banneker admits 4s or 5s; SWW has never required any minimum PARCC score for admissions).

Anyway, 8% of 8th graders city-wide scored 5, or 365 students.

The other Bard schools are competitive with grades, scores, interviews, references, etc. So basically this would be robbing Peter to pay Paul?  Smart, mature students targeted for Bard could have citywide lottery options for charters like BASIS, Latin, Thurgood Marshall, DCI, and DCPS competitive admission schools (SWW etc) as well as "reimagined" DCPS specialized schools or programs at Roosevelt, Ron Brown, etc?

Wouldn't things be better for residents of Wards 7 & 8 to improve the DCPS and charter schools that are already located there? Or would Ward 7 & 8 kids have preference at Bard regardless of admissions criteria?

DC needs to fix what it has. This sounds like Bowser grasping at straws.[/quote]
