[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also 1 in 4 children at Ross qualifies for FARMs yet their scores are on par with the WOTP schools and beat EOTP schools with the same % or fewer FARM students.[/quote] If Van Ness ends up at 25% FARMs I suspect it will be quite successful. [/quote] No snark, but why? What will the school have going for it that makes you think it will perform better than Brent or Maury or Ludlow Taylor? [/quote] One thing that the school will have going for it is the fact that it is only opening with PS3, PK4 and K. They have the opportunity to really put a focus on building a strong early childhood education program since there won't be older kids there initially. As they slowly add grades, they can build the school culture. Also, since the neighborhood is rapidly developing with new housing being built, they should be able to attract newcomers that are looking for a strong neighborhood DCPS school.[/quote]
