[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, don't understand the negativity.  Garrison was slated to close and the Shaw community rallied to save it.  It's doing very well now.  Thank you to those who are organizing!  We will be there.[/quote]

Can you provide specific details about how Garrison is doing well, other than their finally modernized building? How has that changed since 2012, when the Shaw community rallied to save Garrison? I joined the campaign to save Garrison way back when. But I don't see a school that has changed all that much (in terms of number of students or student achievement) in the intervening 6 years, and part of me wonders if consolidating Garrison and Seaton back then would have been better. Last year, Garrison had <35 kids in each grade, K-5.

I've also wondered if combining Garrison and Shaw would have been a really good idea, actually. But the movement did prove that the Shaw community can rally and advocate and change minds in DCPS.[/quote]
