[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d like to see some very basic data which should be super easy for Ellington to provide. For the last four years, How many DC applicants were there for Ellington?  How many auditioned and for which programs?  And how many were not accepted?  I want to see how they justify turning away child of District tax-paying residents while knowingly letting in outnod state kids. DUKE ELLINGTON IS A DC PUBLIC SCHOOL. it isn’t a private school.  It isn’t a regional magnet. It’s a DCPS. It is all so maddening.  So we built a palace that was $100 million over budget so kids from MD and VA can benefit. Enough. [/quote]

Yes, the public should at least get a proper accounting.  If Ellington's standards for admission are so tough that they don't think there are enough D.C. resident students able to reach that bar, then they should lower the bar.  Arts education is not only for kids who've already received training.  "Beginner" is arts education, too.  [/quote]

Even more importantly, it will help families of students in elementary and middle school know more about the size and chances of admission of each discipline, which can help them better prepare their children. [/quote]
