[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then why doesn’t DCPS use Spingarn to open a rigorous test-in Middle School and HS, to satisfy the strong demand in adjacent communities and stop the bleeding of its high-achieving population to charters?...

Why open a technical training program targeting other wards less than 0.1 miles from a similar program targeting the same community.[/quote]

Because it is not willing to create a Special White Kid School and that is what it would turn out to be.  And they already opened Bard not too far away.  They think they will need an additional general high school when Eastern, Dunbar, and Cardozo fill up.[/quote]

So, I asked a rhetorical question about a test in program, well-aware that DCPS couldn’t care less about high-performing students due to concerns about closing the achievement gap and other factors that result in DCPS teaching to the bottom.

In any case, we’re already at Basis.  But I have several neighbors who will likely move if they’re closed out of an academically rigorous option.

Meanwhile Spingarn will no doubt be used for a purpose that does not advance the needs of the adjacent community.  Sigh.[/quote]
