[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the "Do what Banneker does crowd"...NO!

Never received any interview, period. Reached out a few times via email and phone and still haven't received any communication. There were still going thru apps at least two weeks before the lottery (that's what I was told). At least SWW lets you know where you stand regardless of the outcome.

DC applied from a private and I wanna believe that it didn't play a factor. But not getting an interview has got me wondering. Where's the equity in that?

Reranked schools in the lottery sensing we were being ghosted and was be admitted to SWW. A lot of families are not as fortunate to have options.

[b]DCPS needs to take over all of it with one qualifying process for the selective high schools.[/b] [/quote]

From my observation over the last several years, these admissions process changes and lack of transparency are DCPS driven. Walls' longtime former principal was a staunch advocate for upholding admissions standards and process and was removed from his position. Active (and oblique) changes to the admissions process began after his removal.[/quote]

I think it’s telling that the person who wants DCPS to run the whole process from the central office is the person whose child is not currently attending a DCPS school. [/quote]

Why? That's the way it runs in most school systems that I have experience with. Mine was a central process years ago. They learned that autonomy leads to lawsuits and big ones.[/quote]
