[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] They can't all have SH, it's that simple. There are other schools already filling SH, and it is full. So, Brent gets Jefferson instead. Maury gets EH. the Cluster gets SH. There is no funnel in the DCPS system that gets the highest-performing ES students on the Hill into the same MS. And since neither EH nor Jefferson are at capacity there's certainly no perceived need (from DCPS's point of view) for a new MS. If I'm the parent of a 4th grader at Brent, I'm going to jump to Latin or Basis next year. Without a critical mass of high-performing students it is very hard (not impossible - KIPP, but very, very hard) to have a high-performing school. The only mechanism to get the highest-performing students at the best ESs on the Hill into the same MS, is G&T. [b]But DCPS is not interested in G&T. [/b] Hence the dilemma.[/quote] And hence, DCPS will continue to lose students to Basis and Latin and elsewhere. [/quote]
