[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going back to the beginning of this very long thread, Rich Trogisch, principal at FS suggested in the Current article he can create a high school within FS.  Presumably, this would give Ward 2 families a close by neighborhood high school.  The feeder would obviously be FS middle school and perhaps Hardy which is also in Ward 2.  Right now FS feeds to Cardoza.  This would remove students from that high school which is currently under enrolled but logic rarely seems to play a role in DCPS decision-making so this could be an option.[/quote]

There aren't enough families in Ward 2 to create a neighborhood school.  Almost everyone who goes to FS comes from some other neighborhood.  [/quote]

The boundaries for FS are pretty big.  If they renovate the place and add advanced classes, and maybe more language classes, the in-boundary kids will go there.  I know because my kid went there under Rhee, but then the decision-makers wrecked what she was doing, and we bailed.  There's always been a lot of potential at FS, but not the will to create the programming necessary to attract large numbers of in-boundary kids.[/quote]
