[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Eastern HS needs a fresh start - new principal, etc. Someone who can turn it around and make it at least a 50% neighborhood school. [/quote]

DCPS already tried this.  When they renovated the school, they also completely reconstituted it. New admin, started over with a freshman class, AND implemented IB at local parents' request.

The "neighborhood" families still didn't show up.

Truth be told, that case is likely the reason why DCPS doesn't give a damn about what anyone on this board thinks.  DCUM people are (generally) all talk and no action, unless that action is finding a new and creative way to filter out undesirable students. [/quote]

I think the bigger problem is that DCPS has no credibility with families so no one is willing to trust their half-baked measures. Anacostia HS, etc., all offer AP classes in theory but if you actually talk to teachers, you find out the content being taught is not AP because kids are too far behind. So how am I supposed to trust Eastern’s IB classes especially when the results look terrible. Are you recommending I just throw my kid in there and hope for the best?[/quote]
