I want to add something to this.

When posts happen, like the integration post, someone always compares UMC unwillingness to want to go to a low ranking school in their neighborhood to families east of the river trying to get out of their lower ranking school.

It's not the same. Families over here aren't just trying to get away from low test scores. We KNOW our buildings aren't taken care of the same as schools WOTP or even west of the river. Maybe it's because we don't have a huge parent coalition to make sure things like what happened at Anacostia don't happen, I don't know. Regardless, it's true.

And before I am jumped on I want to point out two things

1) I don't care where your child goes to school. I am not arguing that you should stay in your low performing schools. I just wanted to point out that the situations aren't the same

2) I have experienced this first hand. There was an abandoned car right outside of my daughter's school for over 2 months. The windows were bashed out and there were holes in the side of the car. Rats and mice started to take it over. It took OVER TWO months to get the car removed. That never would have happened if our school was located on the Hill or honestly, any part of the other side of the river.
