[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk about burying the leded, from original post:

“The quickest way I can reduce crowding and demand for Wilson is to get Banneker at Shaw opened as quickly as possible. 100% of Banneker kids go to college; these are some of the best kids in the District. If we move them to Shaw, I have 350 more seats we can fill; these are families who would otherwise be clamoring to get into Wilson or SWW.”

“We can also increase high quality middle school seats by taking the current Banneker space and[b] creating a new, high quality middle school open to all District residents.[/b]”

What about a midcity (Shaw, etc.) MS that at least serves those residents first, without an entrance exam or lottery?[/quote]

DCPS gets no kudos or credit for middle schoolers. They do need / want to track and report high school graduation rates, and numbers of students getting into college.
This is about creating more high quality high school seats, and trying to get more high schoolers to choose DCPS (K and 9th are the grades where DCPS 'beats' charters).[/quote]
