[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The proposal doesn't recommend a test in program at Eastern.  DCPS must think that the gentrifiers will come to the spiffed up building eventually without one.  I don't see that happening.  [/quote]

Agree.  The gorgeous new 123 million Dunbar isn't attracting gentrifiers or anyone else no matter how nice it looks.  It's at less than 50% capacity.  [/quote]

The gentrifiers don't have high school aged kids yet. Who knows how it may be once the prekers are of age.[/quote]

Exactly. The gentrifiers didn't move there until recently, and none were/are with school aged kids. [/quote]

This gentrifier's kid is at a charter that goes through hs.   No way would I ever consider Dunbar.  If we hadn't got into an acceptable school by K, we would have moved.  If you think a gorgeous building is going to make up for 17% reading at grade level in HIGH SCHOOL, y'all are as crazy as DCPS.[/quote]

Congrats -- you were one of the lucky ones who won at the lottery of public school education, while others, also tax payers, struck out.  Hopefully, by the time their kids get to high school age, the catchment area around Dunbar will have scores as high as those at your charter, and  your neighbors won't have to move to the suburbs.  Seems like the big shots who want DC to thrive would be doing everything they can to make that happen.[/quote]
