[quote=Anonymous]You're railing at the wrong people. DCPS has been poorly led for decades. Boundary cheaters exist because good neighborhood schools are found near awful ones, with the good and awful sometimes trading places. For example, 10 or 15 years ago, Cap Hill families would buy houses IB for the Capitol Cluster, so their kids could attend Watkins at a time when the IB and high SES %s were more than double what they are now. There was no viable PS alternative in NE or SE. Flash forward and Watkins appeals to few IB. Some longtime Cluster district families rent apartments IB for Brent or Maury, or even buy 2nd properties. Many of us say far better that they stay than go charter, or move to the burbs or Upper NW, in the face of DCPS' inept management of Watkins. [/quote]
