[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hasn't done much for the in boundary school, Amidon-Bowen, if that's what your asking.[/quote]
Au contraire.

Amidon was just reconstituted in part due to the efforts of gentrifiers.  This was a HUGE deal.  Children at Amidon are in a better place today because of that.  And Amidon is about to announce an innovative plan for the future that will further improve the school - stay tuned for that announcement.  Amidon now has a functioning PTA led by a gentrifier.    New parent leaders are working on the school improvement team and planning for the modernization - and they are pushing for resources and results.  Families that never would have considered Amidon before are now giving it consideration.

Capper Carrollsburg in Near Southeast was a hell-scape before 2005.  No one would have wished living there upon their worst enemies.  It is now a mixed income community, and the low income residents living in Capitol Quarter (which replaced Capper Carrollsburg) are in a much better neighborhood than before.  And when Van Ness re-opens, the low income families will enroll in a school that is light years ahead of the the old Van Ness.
