[quote=Anonymous]"Capturing" a certain portion of Ward 3 families is never going get us to the goal because they can afford (politically and financially) to not be captured.  It's got to be some combination of nearby Ward 3, Ward 4 families, IB (as in int'l Bacc) focused families and other members of the "morning diaspora" that are currently traveling across the city to get to Wilson. There are plenty of students for at least two good high schools. We know this because Wilson is overflowing.  How can we make it attractive enough to get the above group on board? Rather, can DCPS execute the plan we draw up?[/quote]

INTL Bacc. for high school (I can ensure many Deal Families will want there, plus lots of highly educated families/kids who plan to stay in DC for 4-5 yrs then go back to their countries)  +
Either test-in of DC Profiency track (sorry for using teh word track, make it sound better for your purposes)

Regarding the above comment, I do not agree. With the following 3 ingredients you could draw a lot of Ward 3 and ward 4 proficient  students:  1) a well-designed program and 2) strong and credible commitment from DCPS, 3) Capable and open-minded Principal.

It took just an announcement to draw immediately a strong cohort of Ward 3 families to Basis (the same ones who you say can afford not to be captured).
