[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 stranger thing is that DCPS was looking at McKinley middle being an app-based school, or at least partly app-based, in the early stages of planning, from what I remember of the Ward 5 schools planning meetings. Then for some reason they dropped it!

See here:

[i]6th – 12th Middle School Magnet and College Prep HS - a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Citywide Application School with 380 seats for middle school students.[/i]

from this: http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/Parents%20and%20Community/Community%20Initiatives/Ward%205%20Great%20Schools%20Initiative

Under About the Initiative.

And then it somehow got changed into a neighborhood, feeder-based school...[/quote]
