[quote=Anonymous]Who doesn't want there to be another successful school in the city? Every parent. But merging FS with SWW HS failed to think about the negative impact on one of few high performing HS in the city. If FS enrollment does not meet its targeted enrollment, that will cause major problems for the HS budget. DCPS hoped the SWW brand name would drive up enrollment, but that is not the case so far. DCPS had many options if it did not want to close the school- they could have moved the SWW principal over there to run the school without merging them. They could have made it a magnet school for lower grades. They merged a school that does not feed into the HS because it is application only. How logical is that? Now DCPS will end up harming one of its few successful HS. DCPS has enough problems- they should not create more.[/quote]
