[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, what probably has to go away are all of the special-interest "academies" in the DCC or the NEC that were open to anyone who lotteried into a given school. That matters to my performing-arts kid A LOT. But since nothing matters except STEM I can't even get a straight answer out of DCCAPS.[/quote] Northwood is getting a criteria based performing arts magnet. That's great, actually.[/quote] No, that will be great five years from now *if* the necessary resources are directed towards it and appropriate staff can be newly hired, rather than draining limited arts resources and faculty from other schools (whose arts programs might already be precarious). It is manifestly *not* great for my 8th grader, who now has no idea where to apply or attend. No matter what Northwood becomes, it will not be a destination school for the arts 10 months from now when DC starts high school.[/quote]
