[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's put some Rocketship and KIPP schools in Ward 3.  They're supposed to be good enough for the rest of the city, so they're good enough for Upper Caucasia, right?[/quote]

How does that help overcrowding at Wilson?[/quote]

It would be a high school.  If downtown and the Mayor think these charter high schools are good enough for the rest of the rest of the city, why are they not a solution for the Wilson boundary?[/quote]

Yes, why not?  Has the Mayor said anything about this as an option?  You bring a good charter high school (eg, Latin) to a neighborhood with no charter options and families that already send kids to schools outside the ward for high school, you are likely to get some traction. [/quote]

Where is the space in Ward 3 for a charter HS?[/quote]

The present Duke Ellington site.  It was the former Western high school.  It would be a great site for another academic high school (which Ellington is not) and could do much to relieve Wilson overcrowding.  Even though the location is not optimal for Ellington because it is not convenient for most of its students, I fear that Ellington is nowxthere for good.[/quote]
