[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make more schools throughout the city better, safer, more attractive, and diverse and out of boundary students may choose other schools to attend instead of Ward 3 schools. Throw in good public transportation, too. Maybe when the Southwest Wharf is built, developers and business men will toss money to nearby schools and make those schools the coveted ones.

Also, the District is getting so expensive to live in that young people with families might move to the suburbs.[/quote]

Im an EOTP parent of preschooler so no real dog in your fight but you are almost on to something. If they want more parents around the city to choose their IB then they have to bring back tracking, gifted classes or at a minimum pull the kids who are struggling out of grade level classes by 2nd grade.  We are in our IB for preschool and our kid is actually having a great year but like every other high income family in her class we are playing lottery because we see whats on the horizon.  Hello we see it NOW in some ways.   when the principal admits there are kids in 3rd grade who still struggle with the basics, like letters and number, no way I am wasting my kids time in that class. So we play lottery or move WoTP and further crowd your schools.  Honestly, tracking, test in etc would solve about 75% of DCPS problems.  But it will never happen politically so Ward3 has kids in packed schools,  other EoTP parents with kids in Preschools but desperate to lottery elsewhere.[/quote]
