[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And SWW Middle school IS decent, though tiny. There is no world in which a Shaw Middle would definitely be better, such that you could count on Ross families choosing to attend. [/quote]

You need to think about it more broadly.  Some people try to help their middle school for the sake of all the kids, even if they're not planning to enroll their own child.  And the quality of the middle school affects the feeder elementaries.  I am only a preschool mom and I don't know much, but I do understand that middle school is a major reason for our attrition.  If Shaw Middle happened and did well enough that people had some hope for it, that would help Seaton retain kids better and become a better school than it is now.  Which would in turn help the middle school.  Maybe I send my own kid to Shaw middle, maybe I don't, but an improved middle school would benefit Seaton in the long run regardless.  [/quote]

Why must it be [i]Shaw[/i] middle? Cardozo has the same students feeding to it.

There are not enough kids to fill both buildings. DCPS is being smart to give the old Shaw space to Banneker -- a school that desperately needs upgraded facilities which serves students city-wide. Perhaps even your preschooler someday.
