[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just seems,so bizarre to have an attach an open enrollment middle school to an application only high school. I know dcps is allergic to any kind of magnet school below 9th grade but it really doesn't create any great continunity when the majority of the middle school population will not qualify to stay past 8th grade due poor academic performance. It would be much better if the middle was also a magnet program too.[/quote]

the only thing crazier would be to attach a neighborhood PK3-8 school to an application high school, not tie the curricula together in any way, and put one principal in charge of the whole shebang! oh wait, that's exactly what happened at [School Without Walls at] Francis-Stevens.  DCPS must think parents are really dumb if they expect us to fall for this crap. [/quote]

I really can't understand the insane troll logic behind why dcps wants to take two very sucess full high schools, schools that owe some of their success to being selectime and can pick from a city wide pool of students and pair them with a neighborhood school without a magnet program. It isn't fair to anyone involved. I noticed the Banneker and Duke did not get stuck with similar middle or education campuses.

Also while I'm not a fan of dcum posters who believe gifted and talented programs are the panacea to solve all of dcps woes I don't get why dcps won't have any magnet schools or programs for middle or lower. It would make sense to turn one school per ward into a giftrd center school (like aap or hgc in fcps/mcps)[/quote]
