[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take it there is zero thinking that DCPS will find a way to turn an existing middle school into something workable. Any hope for the new Brookland Middle to grow into a viable option?[/quote] its takes decades to turn a middle school around. Bottom line is that a middle is only as good as its feeders. If the best students bails on the feeders after 4th (Cap Hill, Brent clears out after fourth grade and the all high SES families send their kids Basis, private, latin or move-which is why Cap Hill middle schools still stink after decades of effort). Brookalnd is shiny and new. A lot of people hyped it up. The feeders to it are very mediocre at best. Sure some high SES families will rave about the preschool but almost none of the will be there after K. So the poorly performing kids continue to be the only ones feeding to brook land. Brookline only managed to attact one white kid in the entire school. [/quote]
