[quote=Anonymous]^ not neccessarily in this case.  I'm curious if the DCPS ranking system, when applied to a citywide DCPS school might not be more -- self-selecting (?) -- than the charter system currently is?  I think with the ranking system there will be many local-to-the-school families ranking it higher than those in NW would (vs. the throw a dart at the board and deal with the commute mentality of the charter system.)

I want to know what the long-term charter parents think about this development.  I've heard the complaints that citywide has a negative effect, but it seems to me, if you're that interested in Reggio and the location that you have to rank it high in order to get a slot that you'd be involved once you got in?    It's not like this is the one citywide choice any longer, so you just must take it?  Am I delusional that the parents, regardless of where they come from, may genuinely be interested in the model?

(I say this as an SwS parent with the caveat that we adore the neighborhood school feeling and all it entails: play dates around the corner, carpooling, last-minute pick ups when needed, weekend picnics where everyone can BiKE to the venue.  I'll definitely miss that if the dominant population comes from NW.)[/quote]
