[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's ultimately a boundary issue.  Don't forget about the proposal to award 10 percent of lottery seats to at risk kids.[/quote]

That's what the "Janney annex" (a lease at St Ann's) will be for.[/quote]

Perhaps Hearst should  become the "Janney annex."  They could split Janney's boundaries and direct more kids to Hearst, or pair with Hearst and move whole grades over there.  Either way, if Janney and Hearst had a common program and perhaps some administrative coordination, more Janney parents would be happy sending their kids over to Hearst.[/quote]

This is actually not a terrible idea. Make Hearst PK4-2 and Janney 3-5. [/quote]

Not this debate again....in fact until about 7 years ago Hearst only went to 3rd grade and DCPS made the decision to have it go to 5th.

And really, Hearst is just fine and many in the Hearst community would not want it to become the "Janney annex."   If families from anywhere in the city want to join the community, great, but please don't imply that it needs to become a "Janney annex" for it to be desirable.  Come check it out now and see what a great school it is.[/quote]

Hearst is fine and getting better.  But it would certainly become very high achieving if it effectively went to 95% Upper NW SES students with very involved parents.  That may not be so PC to point out, but it's the reality.[/quote]
