This just gave me a great idea for solving the overcrowding problem at Wilson ... let's just integrate Wilson and Ellington by clustering them.  The Ellington building is within the Wilson feeder boundaries, so it makes perfect sense.  Students will attend Ellington for 9th grade, and then move to Wilson for 10th-12th.  This will also help integrate Ellington by making it more diverse.

Yeah so this is a great idea, but exactly the sort of thing that white parents will flip about and not permit. [/quote]

This makes no sense. 1) These are two different schools. Do you propose to combine them? That would effectively kill Ellington. 2) Ellington kids are on a totally different curriculum and need different physical resources. 3) It's not the white parents who would object-- it's the Ellington-Military-Complex that would lose their mind.[/quote]

Ellington's curriculum is not totally different -- they do 100% of the DCPS curriculum/school day and then on top of that do 3 hours of Ellington-specific arts programming a day.
