[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eastern is a fully articulated high school that was renovated for the students who attend and who will attend. It was the right thing to do and the renovation is beautiful.

How uplifting. So where are Capitol Hill residents who can't afford private school supposed to send their teens to HS if they lack lottery luck at high SES friendly charters?  Gleaming Eastern, which supports an International Baccalaureate Diploma program where no student achieves a pass point total higher than the mid 20s (on a points scale of 24-45, the equivalent of a D+)?  Meanwhile, at a dozen suburban IBD programs in this metro area, average pass points totals are in the high 30s (the equivalent of an A-).

What's the right thing to do for in-boundary families? Pretend that our children can accrue the benefit of an Eastern IBD education, call us names when they don't attend, and leave it at that, with no hell to pay on election day? Great.

You sell your house and move to one of dozen suburban schools which have stellar IB scores. If you value your kids' education so much, why the heck are you sending them to public school in Ward 6 of DC? Cap Hill is great for free PK. Then you move if you really care about education.[/quote]
