[quote=Anonymous]At a certain point if you offer enough seats you will get some at-risk kids. There just aren't that many non-at-risk middle and high school students in DC for it to be otherwise. Locating EOTR, starting not just with the youngest grades (so families with say, rising 7th and 11th graders can apply to send both kids there), good community outreach, and really asking what people would need in order to participate (cheaper uniforms? summer programs? evening classes for parents to help them help their kids? I don't know) could all help. But some of the most motivated kids and parents I know EOTR honestly don't want to attend any school EOTR. They want to be out of their neighborhoods as much as possible. For them, good transportation from EOTR to the current campus (buses from Congress Heights, Benning Road, and Minnesota Ave. metros, perhaps?) might be more appealing than a new location.[/quote]
