[quote=Anonymous]Aren't significant numbers of high schoolers already using Metro/Metrobus to get to school? There are already several application high schools.

The lottery for everyone idea does sound awful. I heard the person on NPR the other day saying that everyone agrees that diversity is a key element, and I thought to myself, really? Does EVERYONE care about that? With droves of white people sending their kids to the JKLMs and lots of AA families choosing schools like KIPP, I'm not so sure.

This seems to me to be a middle school fight. Because there's only one "good" middle school within all of DCPS. So if you are zoned for it now, I can see why you would be anxious about losing it.

But for the majority of DC that lives EotP, does anyone really care strongly which middle school you are zoned for? I don't. Our middle school is so bad (and underenrolled), I am fairly certain I would never consider sending my kids there. There is not another DCPS middle school anywhere nearby where I would send my kids. But open a magnet middle school somewhere Metro accessible and EotP, and I would consider it.
