[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latin Cooper.  Shock is a strong word.  The school is still relatively new and next year still in a transitional temporary warehouse building.  The waitlist for 5th grade is something like 360 kids.[/quote]

Capitol Hill families like the Latin brand. 
Brand is a thing.
Classical = what it is.
They didn't even fill their ask risk slots. 
Latin smartly bet on the come that the charter board feels more strongly about having new filled schools than having new filled schools that fit the demographics of their neighborhoods.  They'll add two more Hill buses next year.[/quote]

This is some seriously weak sauce you are pouring. You throw the work "brand" around pejoratively. What you mean is "reputation and results educating kids better than DCPS counterparts". At risk is a red herring. They set aside seats. They advertised. What more would you have them do? Would you like them to walk around Ward 8 and surreptitiously sweep kids off the street and drop them into classes against the will of their parents? Charters are NOT neighborhood schools. They are not designed to be neighborhood schools. We have schools that are designed to first and foremost "fit the demographics of their neighborhoods". We call these DCPS schools and IB kids can by right attend them. The ones in the neighborhoods you pretend to care about are empirically bad at educating those kids.

You and PP miss the most obvious Latin advantage - HIGH SCHOOL PATHWAY. [/quote]
