[quote=Anonymous]I was glad to see that the issue of PS-8 and 6-12 grade schools got some attention, if only a tiny bit. That's one of the many reasons why our in-bounds school is not an option for my kids--MS kids really don't need to be on the same campus as ES kids, being a potentially bad influence. Nor do they need to be lumped in with HS kids who are potentially bad influences on them. I'm guessing this was done as a space issue, since so many of the PS-8 and 6-12 schools were under-enrolled, but it's definitely not an attractive choice when there are other options. I also agree with the PP who said that MacFarland needs to be re-invented as a test-in MS. It's centrally located for much of the city, it's near the metro and bus lines, and DCPS isn't going to attract families that have other options (charters, moving) without ensuring that there are solid academic offerings at any new MS.
