No it is not similar to Ward 3 getting an additional DCPS middle school.  That is redundancy.  Ward 5 doesn't have a middle school.  and the residents and their council rep don't seem particularly excited about getting a DCPS middle school in ward 5.  but what might excite them is gettign a charter school in ward 5 that guarantees admission to ward 5 students-- but that would also be free to take in students from other wards.

It seems like W3 in that parents are rationalizing why their ward should get special treatment with public monies.  Some in ward 3 want another middle school, knowing they could fill it with desirable white kids in their neighborhood and desirable people from other areas, willing to travel.

Some W5 people do not want a middle school, because they think it will not attract a desirable element, so instead want special charter rules that will favor their kids.

I got the impression from the ward 5 folks that I know that they aren't much interested in a new ward 5 middle school because they don't trust that DCPS will provide the school with the resources that they see in the charter schools in ward 5.  that is different from fearing a DCPS middle school will attract an undesirable element.  But, you say tomato . . .  [/quote]
