As someone whose kid is already headed for FS, I worry that these families will petition to stay and it will change the character of the school.

It's a ton of disruption for FS, all to appease some wealthy families in center city when kids all over DC are stuck in failing middle schools, with no Euclid on the horizon for them. Why do parents in Logan Circle get this kind of attention and an out to a much better middle?

Believe me, if you are at all representative of the kinds of parents at FS, we will not want to stay long. [/quote]

Current SWWFS parent here. This attitude is not representative of the parent community. And PP appears to think that Garrison, Seaton, and Cleveland are full of wealthy white students, which is incorrect, as others have already pointed out.

I think this temporary move will probably be fine, but it’s true that absorbing kids from three additional schools is going to be a big change for the middle school, even considering the added space from the renovation. I don’t think it was projected that all of the extra capacity would go to middle school students, or that those seats would be filled so quickly. It would be good for everyone if DCPS communicated plans for implementing and supporting this.[/quote]

Is it going to be more kids, or does this just mean less spots for kids from other OOB schools? Remember, you have a lot of kids from these three schools already, and not all of them will want to go.[/quote]
