[quote=Anonymous]You can argue about semantics but driving out high performing students from Wilson into suburbs or privates is not the answer. DCPS needs to be looking at creative and innovative solutions to the problem that there is one functioning comprehensive high school in DC. Maybe they should try tracking at Eastern to attract in-boundary students. There are many students at Wilson who schlepp all the way from Capitol Hill and even further. This is not great as these kids are late much more often and also miss more school. The city does not provide enough resources for Wilson to function effectively. This hurts both the low achieving and high achieving kids. Maybe some of you think this is fine because then more $ are left for other schools. I think you should realize that simply pouring money into schools such as a brand new school building and spending extra money on academy directors and fancy blazers for academy students hardly moves the needle. DCPS wastes a lot of money on shiny bells and whistles and in the end there are no winners, only losers.[/quote]
