[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not? [/quote] The demographics are not there. [b]There is no critical mass of Hill families sufficient to fill an MS.[/b] Hence, the only path to a high-performing MS is a city-wide solution but G&T programs will not be implemented by DCPS, because the optics would be politically challenging (there would be too many white & asian kids). Ergo, the only way to do it is for charters to come in that are challenging enough, such that anyone who is not academically high-performing will drop out. Latin, Basis, DCI... but nothing from DCPS. [/quote] This is just silly. You're telling me that if Brent, Maury, and the Cluster were all feeders to the same middle school, they couldn't fill Stuart-Hobson? That's just objectively wrong.[/quote]
