[quote=Anonymous]OP, you seem really naive. In Ward 5 the result of that would be massive overcrowding, because DCPS has excessed so many of its own buildings. It would have to buy back the charter buildings as new schools and reboundary, and that would create all kinds of fighting over the lines and what schools the big housing projects are assigned to. The outcome would be that kids with wealthier parents go to better schools, just like it is in every boundary system everywhere. If DCPS would do a better job serving all the kids-- at-risk, below grade level, and those that need to be challenged above grade level-- it would improve dramatically with no rules changes. People *want* a nearby, by-right school if it is quality. You don't see Ward 3 lobbying for charters. But until DCPS is willing to provid quality and has the budget for it, nothing will change.
