[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, my well-educated, high-earning household will likely rank Hyde-Addison higher for an OOB spot in an upper grade if it's at Meyer. And our kid is not likely to hurt your precious PARCC scores or classroom decorum. We'll be plenty involved at whatever school we get in to.  But if that's what you mean by a shell of a school, bring it on. [/quote]

One could be forgiven for thinking that there are those out there supporting moving H-A to Meyer because it will make the school less attractive and improve your chances of getting a lottery slot. You accuse H-A parents of dramatizing the situation, but what background knowledge do you bring to bear that enables you so much insight into how the swing will affect the quality of H-A? In the absence of that, though, apply basic logic. Unless the current school population is wholesale replaced by families local to Shaw, average engagement is practically guaranteed to drop off as both IB and OOB parents just cannot get to the school as much. This will make the school worse, but will indeed make it easier to lottery into. Maybe that makes for winning politics in this town, but it's also a formula for reproducing the mediocrity (to be generous) that has long characterized the city's school system.  [/quote]
