[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever with all of you arguing like crabs in a barrel. Everyone does what makes the most sense for their child and family, within the limited public options.

Here's a new question: If Maury families are sticking together and going to EH more than ever before, how many years until Eastern is actually a strong academic school? How long until SWS gets on board with ANY neighborhood middle school?[/quote]

I think it's impossible to predict those things. Too much depends on external factors such as principal quality, DCPS choices, charter options, and random lottery luck. You can make EH the best it can be, so that every student matriculating to Eastern is as prepared as they possibly can be.  Maury families hanging together is great, but you have to deliver the highest quality middle school possible for all kids and all levels. Try to influence the stream of kids actually attending Eastern.

If a high school starts seeming good quality, people will want to attend from all over the city. It's an uphill climb to produce good stats while welcoming kids from so many underperforming middle schools.[/quote]
