[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you smoking?  Where is the middle school bridge to Eastern for high SES families in Ward 6?  Even a rock star principal can't stem the exodus after 4th grade.

You are not wrong but I still think the new principal, if DCPS doesn’t drive him out in a couple years, will be good for Eastern. 
And that in turn will be good for the neighborhood. More people will be willing to take a chance with SH and EH if the high school is good. And that will improve these two middle schools. It will be a 5 year scenario though at the minimum. I feel bad that JR got stuck with the Eastern principal as he is meh. 
And yes, I met him several times.[/quote]

I think Hardy and Deal demonstrate that the only way to get neighborhood buy-in is to prioritize courting IB families. Unless the new Eastern principal wants to do that, not gonna happen. I’m sorry to say, increasing IB enrollment is no longer a professionally rewarded effort in DCPS. This is exceedingly clear and one big reason we will likely move. [/quote]
