[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is so sad that DCPS has given up on all the neighborhood high schools. What a waste of bright and talented local kids who don’t have the resources to get into Wilson, Walls or Banneker. Somehow I don’t think the DCPS-XQ relationship is going to move the needle [/quote]

+1  I am not inbound for Lafayette or Shepherd, but I really hope that they pull them out of Deal/J-R together and route to a Ward 4 middle/high school path.  It would immediately create another viable neighborhood school and fix Ward 3 overcrowding.  It has to be better to have everyone in the city fighting over two neighborhood high schools than over one![/quote]

Not gonna happen with the new MacArthur Blvd high school coming online. I agree with you that Shepherd and Lafayette should go to Wells and Coolidge (and before you say there's no room, either move the early college academy to Dunbar, or build an extension on Coolidge...it won't cost more than the MacArthur renovations) and also think Oyster should become PK3-5 and be routed along with Bancroft to MacFarland and Roosevelt. Wilson would no longer be overcrowded and other schools would get more high-performing students. If DCPS did this well (for example, guaranteeing honors and AP courses for anyone who gets a 4 or 5 on PARCC even if that means having a class of 4 kids or something) it could be really effective.
