[quote=Anonymous]Looking at those "proficient" statistics for the DC high schools, I would tend to agree that there aren't enough students to support a "new" magnet high school (unless the overall proficiency numbers for middle schools are higher, in which case maybe several years down the line the attendance at a magnet high could fill up). But, as others have mentioned earlier, perhaps the main focus of a new "magnet" school should be at 6-8th grade and not 9-12th. There ought to be more than enough capacity at the middle school level to fill up a new, application-only middle school. It would take from the pool of students that are currently attending DCPS and the Charters. Graduates of that new school would likely be dispersed throughout the city -- But, if a set of accelerated courses were installed within the new Roosevelt (or another of the rather centrally-located high schools), then I'll bet a number of students graduating from the magnet middle would go there. Over time, it would probably grow into a popular high school program; and would raise the quality of the entire school, too, as you see in Wilson's case.[/quote]
