[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your planning premise is a illogical workaround of a school with the same grades a couple blocks away I’m not surprised it didn’t happen.[/quote]

I don't think it's crazy.  The system as a whole is planning for an increase in kids, and I do think that a middle school stands a better chance of success when it is not sited within a failing high school.  Shaw Middle School was making some progress back when it was open, so why couldn't that continue?[/quote]

Yeah it’s too bad. The enrollment was only 90 kids and the principal was very sadly murdered :( Then they closed/moved it.

What’s the current enrollment for MS grades at Cardozo?

[b]I think it's still pretty small, like 120-ish kids.[/b]  It's so sad about the principal because it seemed like he was getting some traction and in time, things could have worked out.  That was back in 2012 and since then, Seaton has made great strides, and Garrison has been modernized and the new principal seems to be doing well.  So with stronger feeder schools graduating a larger number of better-prepared kids, if they were willing to pull it out of the Cardozo building and give it the right leader, it could be a successful school.  It's sad how little DCPS cares about its middle schools.[/quote]

It was 147 in last year's audit. [/quote]
