All of these children at the other schools if transferred to Roosevelt would make it over-whelmingly a majority AA comprehensive high-school for northwest  area with the second largest capacity to Wilson that is also overwhelmingly AA too.  If you think that DCPS is going to make another application only high-school you're crazy!!!  Therefore to count on those students who are already enrolled in an application school the likelihood of them transferring is far and few.  Also, for Roosevelt to work successfully it would have to phase out or phase in and again that's another lab-experiment that has not worked entirely well (ask Eastern).  Many thought that Eastern would attract whites to the campus and thus far there's only white student but the programs at Eastern are phenomenal and the AA students at the school are to quite well.  So once again build it and they will come is just foolishness for many to believe.  Moreso, build it and they will keep my property value at a level of excellent for resaling purposes.  Projected enrollment for Eastern next year will have them being the second largest high-school to Wilson being the first and this is without any increased white student body.  Thus with Eastern offering everything and more than Wilson...why would you need to revamp Roosevelt to make it more attractive?  Too many cooks spoil the soup.[/quote]

I appreciate the Eastern advocacy and DCUM could probably use a lot more of it (whatever happened to our resident Eastern booster?). But, I think it is just too far away for many of us who might consider a revitalized Roosevelt.
