[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More and more Elementary schools are decent

Middle school wise

Capitol Hill area more and more folks are choosing Stuart Hobson and Jefferson.  They both have some type of differentiation/honors component

As far as EOTP is concerned yall need to coordinate and pick one middle school for all the higher achievers to take over and flip Cardozo, Columbia Heights, Brookland, MicKinley, or New North.  The numbers area there you just need to pick one of those options and swarm it

High School works because of all the test-in select school options

Agree that SH and Jefferson are next. The normal MS options are getting harder to lottery in, & combined with the honors track, makes both more viable.[/quote]

I would have agreed with this except with Latin opening a 2nd campus for fall of 2020, I think that will stall out SH and Jefferson yet again.  I don't think SH/Jefferson/EH and then Eastern will see more IB participation for quite a while now, if ever.  I used to believe that we were approaching a tipping point with LT becoming more IB, etc, but I think we'll move away from it again (much to my dismay).[/quote]

Not if Latin locates in Ward 7 or 8, as intended and planned.

However if BASIS is approved to open an elementary, which won't draw people out of their neighborhood DCPS schools, BASIS as a middle school option will cease to exist, going from the current 120-130 5th-grade seats to about 20-25..

That would be good news for SH and Jefferson.

SH and Jefferson boosters should be loudly boosting the BASIS K-4 plan.[/quote]

Are you saying that there would only be 20-25 OPEN seats for BASIS middle if the expansion happens?

And the new Latin will need to be in very far ward 7 or 8 to keep all the ward 6 families out. They have shown that they will travel anywhere for a non-EH middle school option.

Correction. They will travel very far into NW neighborhoods. [/quote]
