[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Eastern HS needs a fresh start - new principal, etc. Someone who can turn it around and make it at least a 50% neighborhood school. [/quote]

Eastern would 'turn around' in a heartbeat if neighborhood families enrolled. The curriculum is there (IB classes). They also have a track for higher achieving students (students apply to be included). I think DCPS has provided a carrot...but people seem to be wanting an  heirloom tomato.[/quote]

Come on, Eastern's much lauded International Baccalaurate Diploma program has a pass rate of about 50% with average points totals in the mid 20s (the IBD equivalent of a D+ or C-).

The vast majority of us can't even get through DCPS MS on the Hill - we have no access to Stuart Hobson, and little reason to believe that our middle school-age children would be safe, happy, or challenged at Jefferson Academy or Eliot-Hine, let alone 9th grade at Eastern.

DCPS has provided nothing more than a dead-end street for in-boundary UMC families at Eastern, which is criminal given that we're now the majority of in-boundary residents.

Do you have kids in DC public schools? It certainly doesn't sound like it.[/quote]

But the kids at Eastern making those scores aren’t wealthy. If your kids went there they would score high.[/quote]
