[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I think folks would only buy in if the program at Roosevelt was superior.  And by program I do not just mean educational offerings (although that's critical and there would need to be test-in advanced programs, etc). But it would need to have outstanding, moneyed extra-curriculars too. I would totally do it...but it would need to be world class our of the starting block...not a 5 year ramp-up. Best administrators, best teachers. Best. Now that is probably a bar set too high, right? [/quote]

That seems like an appropriate bar. I expect it would cost less than building a new high school.

12:37 mom here again. While I confirm that I would not accept the commute for my sons (as I still have nightmares of my high school commute , and vivid memories of the detriment and disruption it caused to the lazy students) I believe that test-in and differentiation should be the way to go.  What has convinced the neighborhood families for Hardy next year (assuming they are still in after this mess) has been having the Principal and DCPS confirming that the school will have advanced math and English classes starting from next year (math is already in place).
