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

[quote=Anonymous]

“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]

You have one. It's at Cardozo. You might not like the idea of your kid going 1.5 miles to middle school (even though plenty of kids all over the country travel way further), or it being in the same building as a high school, or its test scores, but you have one. And the sooner you get the kids currently going to Francis-Stevens to go there with your kids, the better the school will be.[/quote]

Cardozo is NOT a permanent option, and it was NEVER meant to be. Shaw deserves a by-right, stand-alone middle school. Stop with all the Cardozo nonsense. [/quote]
