[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the demographics of SW are changing a lot faster than the demographics of Amidon-Bowen.  I live in the neighborhood and would love to send kids there one day but am still up in the air about whether that is feasible.  And I am doing more than reading here to both figure out what type of school it is and make it stronger.  [/quote]
So I live in SW too, just a stones throw from Amidon. And I agree that the school is not a right fit for us yet, but soon enough the community will warrant a new school culture. Not  sure that people on this board are also not doing more than 'reading here'. Not sure who you are taking issue with and why you would assume that those of us who care/talk about DCPS only talk.[/quote]

I would bet the only reason enrollment increased at amidon, was because more people were shut out of oob lotteries and charters elsewhere (not because they did some minor renovations to the facility). Yes, their is a baby/toddler boom in the neighborhood, but every school age child I knew when we still lived there, found a spot elsewhere...  consolidating amidon-bowen made sense geographically, but really hurt amidon's chances of turning around...[/quote]
