[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t now anything about these schools, but why people do not support this? Is it because it will increase the at risk % at their school?[/quote] Maury is a very well-regarded school with lots of inbound buy in and high test scores. Miner is not a well-regarded school and has very low inbound buy in (especially past the ECE grades) and terrible test scores. So families at Maury are understandably upset that the plan will jeopardize the good thing they have going. All of this is compounded by the fact that these schools are very close to each other, so there's a bit of neighbor-versus-neighbor issue here. Also the DC lottery system complicates things a lot because these are neighborhood schools but a significant percentage of students attending Miner live out of bounds. Pardon the pun, but the whole thing is a real cluster already.[/quote]
