[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brent parent here - the reality for Van Ness is that if you build a great school, the parents will come.  Unlike some other school boundaries, the housing options are plentiful.  If DCPS would put in the time and resources (hire a principal NOW and then an Assistant Principal, get a marketing and communications team in place, keep meeting with the already great parent group that is formed) this school will have 400 children in two years.[/quote]

This is one of the best posts on this topic in this entire thread.   The "if you build it, they will come" theory is exactly what could happen.   If DCPS announced that Van Ness would have an IB type program with a great principal in place, with a specified border (South Capitol to the west, SE/SW freeway to the north, Anacostia River to the south and east), prospective parents could look at the multitude of housing options in the area and plan to move to the Capitol Riverfront.

Its a great opportunity to organically created a high performing DCPS public school.[/quote]
