[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kennedy IB isn't new it has always been open to the DCC kids. What is new is that it is open to several W schools now. [/quote]

I’d say that’s a huge difference. It’s a competitive regional IB like Richard Montgomery now, not a local school.[/quote]

It will only be a big deal if people choose to send their kids their.  [b]If it is opened to outside kids already[/b], is there any data on how many kids from the Western schools have chosen to attend?

Even if it were to develop a strong reputation, there are going to be lots of parents who will be unwilling to send their kid there for geography alone.  That's a hell of a commute when the neighborhood school is a good option.  And that hesitance may make it harder to attract enough top students to develop the strong reputation in the first instance.  It is a vicious cycle, somewhat similar to the difficulties of improving city schools, but it is hard to get those first families to stay and build something.[/quote]

It isn't.[/quote]
