[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Push Shepherd to Coolidge and the south part of the Coolidge catchment further south to the underenrolled schools, just like Hardy is being pushed south to MacA. There are plenty of open seats at existing schools. [/quote]

Or instead of pushing anyone EOTP which the city has clearly stated they don't want, push another school in W3 to Hardy and MacArthur. Easier pull to swallow sending kids to equal performing schools don't you think? Unless you really are determined to make JR and Deal all white. [/quote]

Push some EOTP students south and you’ll get a higher performing school. Unless you don’t want to go where there are so many OOB kids? Why is that?[/quote]

I don't live in Shepherd Park but your logic makes zero sense and you know it. Shepherd's 40 kids will make zero difference at Coolidge (already at 100% capacity). So you'd need to send 250 kids from Coolidge to Brookland middle and Dunbar. Then you can send the 40 kids from Shepherd and the 200 kids from Lafayette. Yes. I agree, that could be tenable. But now you got an under-enrolled Deal and JR, same as Hardy and MacArthur. It would make more sense to take some kids from Janney and send them to Hardy and MacArthur. [/quote]

Great, yes, send some current Janney kids to MacA and push some kids EOTP south to the seriously underenrolled and under performing schools. Use any resulting capacity beyond IB students at all schools for at-risk kids. If the families of at-risk kids don’t want to move them out of their neighborhood school, great. You’ll more kids from the neighborhoods to the north to help bring up the school and support the at-risk kids there. [/quote]
