[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy model won't work. Hardy has only strong feeder schools. The majority of elementary schools feeding Eliot Hine and Jefferson are still struggling to bring their students up to a 5th grade level of literacy and math. That is a real issue that needs to be tackled head on by DCPS is they expect educationally ambitious parents with other choices to sign up at one of these middle schools[/quote]

DCPS and the now DME could have availed themselves of opportunities to tackle this issue head on, but have chosen not to.  It is not a priority when there iare systemic problems like the failure of improving test scores to materialize and 40 percent of 9th graders dropping out before graduationg from HS.  Oddly enough, a pretty dood swath of the Brent district was actually IB for Wilson, but even that has now been taken away.   It's also comically pathetic that someone gave a moment's thought to eliminating Brent's feeder rights to Eliot-Hime, much less think that any IB family will find Jefferson acceptable.[/quote]
