[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut the Ward 3 District for Wilson in half.  Let those on one side of Wisconsin Avenue attend Wilson High and let the others go to Coolidge and Roosevelt. That would reduce overcrowding.[/quote]

It would reduce by sending more kids to private but how would it help Coolidge? Wilson is not the only issue. As a charter parent, I agree with a PP that we need to start limiting new charters. As it is, many DCPS elementary schools are gaining in popularity. Eventually, with fewer charters, middles will continue (Hardy), it will eventually grow EOTP. I would like to see DCPS open a true application middle school. Maybe one with guaranteed admission to Banneker or Walls.[/quote]

Totally agree—limit new charters and create an application middle school.  Those two things would have far-reaching effects.[/quote]

+2 for application middle school. Or even a magnet program in an existing, under-enrolled middle school (cough Brookland cough).[/quote]

Turn Brookland middle into a school within a school that is truly magnet/test in with actual academic rigor.[/quote]
