[quote=Anonymous]I disagree that this common sense solution will never fly in other DCPS middle schools in gentrifying areas.  It will fly if parents who want honors classes at other schools are super organized and super pushy in advance of their children attending and after they've enrolled.  If I were a future  Hardy, Brookland MS or MacFarland parent, I'd attend a SH open house and talk to the principal to learn more about how his honors class system works ( = positive precedent case for you).

I would start by seeking out parents with high-achieving students (both low SES and high SES) considering enrolling in DCPS middle schools EOTP to lobby the school's admins and DCPS higher-ups to fund and staff honors classes.  I'd go as far as collecting 5th grade report cards and PARCC score reports for kids working at or above grade level who will enroll in the middle school, to show to admins there.  You don't have to accept "no" for an answer when you're told that appropriate "leveled instruction" will be provided.  You don't have to settle for this half-baked solution now that SH parents haven't. But will you need to prove to DCPS that a critical mass of students working at or above grade level will enroll, and then has enrolled.  Good luck.[/quote]
